Hey Sal, Don't separate them!!! My recommendation is try to put more stuff in that tank for the male to hide. If she loses the contact with the male physically, and if the male will not learn/tolerate the abusiveness/agressiveness of the female. They will (very highly) not spawn together again. I had tried separate them in the past and when the pair get back together. They don't spawn. Ade At 04:16 PM 6/12/02 -0400, you wrote: >Thanks John.. I think this experience warrants an article..
