Mom not good enough

[Apist-O-Rama <apistorama@fancifulfins.com>]

My A. cacatuoides "Orange Flash" pair spawned a little over a week ago. 
(Thanks again Tomoko!!!) The other day I was looking and was sad to see 
that mom only had about 6~8 fry left with her. I figured that either mom 
ate the rest or they had died. So I started to look around the tank to see 
if I saw any dead fry. Then in the back of the tank I noticed a cloud of 
fry around dad! I guess he decided that mom wasn't doing a good enough job 
and took most of the babies for himself! It is sort of funny, they have the 
tank divided about in half and won't the other adult on their side. Dad has 
the better half with a nice piece of driftwood the fry like to explore around...
