Tom, milt gets around, especially in a closed system like an
aquarium with some water movement. I wonder how long the "boys" are
viable...

I have had some interesting spawnings in my tanks
recently. Since like so many others, I have run out of tanks to move my
fish into, I separated my male A. guttata and A. hoignei males from the
females and their fry by placing a partition in their tanks. After
several weeks, the female guttata chased the fry through the screen of the
partition into the male's side. She then spawned and the eggs hatched a
couple of days later. The interesting part was that the male was
separated by about 8 inches from the spawning site. The hoignei
did the same thing. I wonder how far the male and female can be
separated and still get fertile egss?
