Last night i wrote how I was watching my female lay eggs on the side of the glass. Well about an hour later, I noticed her, and the male squaring off. No one moved they just hovered there, and then wham, they would fly all over the tank, the other female who is guarding her wigglers goes bonkers and nex tthign you know, the newly laid eggs have all been munched up.Oh well, she put them in a bad spot. My third batch should be free swimming by tomorrow, the brine shrimp are started, and this time, the number of fry has increased. The first time, they gotten eaten as wigglers, 2nd time, only a few (2-3) made it to the free swimming stage. Now i have about 20 a day away from swimming. I amn trying to get the male and other female outta there, but they move quikc. I'll keep everyone posted. +---------------------------+ | Michael W.
