I was just staring into the 10 gal nijsseni breeding tank, looking for the 3 week old fry to see how they were doing, when I noticed about 50 newly hatched eggs scattered out in front of the spawning cave, being guarded by the female. I was wondering if this was normal and should do nothing or do I need to take some protective action.
