I am so excited right now I can't stop grinning. I have
a pair of
P.taeniatus Lobe that spawned last night. It was totally unexpected as I didn't notice very much color change in either of the pair. The male is not camped over the cave as I thought he would be. In fact he has totally no interest in the female or the cave area at all. The female doesn't chase him off and he just seems to mind his own business. She is very aggressive to the other fish in the tank. This is a complete change form the day before. I have been told that these fish are known to eating their eggs and fry. My question is...Should I leave the male in the tank and see what happens, or should I try to remove him with the least amount of effort as possible. The pair are in a well planted tank 48.5"L X 12.5"W X 13.5"H with 2 leopard danios. I don't know the gallons. I'd guess about 30. Any advise would be most appreciated. Thanks, Walt |
