Hi all,
Just wanted to check in with an interesting happening with my Mamore male. I artificially hatched a clutch of eggs a few weeks ago (the female kept eating the eggs), and I've been rearing the fry in a hang-on container inside of the parents' tank. The female has been completely oblivious to the fry, as well as the male...up till now. Today, he started to swim up to the container and peer in. He's started to guard the container by chasing away the pencilfish sharing the tank. Aside from the interesting behavior, it's managed to bring out more of the red in his fins.
