Well Jason, You most assurdly have been hit by the Apisto bug! :) As to your question no she will not heard them around all night but will "put them to bed" She will dig a pit in which she will gather her fry to at dusk. The problem is that many times under Aquarium conditions the lights just go off all of a sudden making for a bit of confusion. I like to put a night light next to the tank so that she can work and gather her fry. In my fish room I keep a light on at all times just for this purpose. In this way the transition to night is not so abrupt and the female can easily gather her fry. Keep up your enthusiasim Jason it is most welcome. === David Sanchez Casselberry, FL http://www.mindspring.com/~barbax barbax2@yahoo.com _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
