Jacques, if I may try my hand at translating your message (I need the practice anyway): "Regarding live artemia and the behavior they may induce, I had an experience that was similar: I had a pair of Pseudochrinalibus philander (mouth brooders) and had isolated the female while she was brooding [not familiar with mouthbrooding lingo--when the female is holding the fry]. She released the fry and everything was going well until one day I put some bbs into the tank. Later, she attacked the fry; I had to remove her in order to raise any of them."
