Re: borelli behavior

["Les Scott" <fishhead@srv.net>]

I have seen similar behavior with my cacautoides "Red Flash".  The male
will move the fry to a spot in the tank that he seems to feel is safe (away
from adjacent takes with other males) and then the female will move them
back to the original spot again.
