Re: [GSAS-Member] what a surprise...

  Thanks Linda,

  Yes indeed it is pretty cool.  Since this is the first eggs from the parents 
fish that suppose to take care.  And so far he looks he does.

  I guess I better take the Corys out.  It would be tough butprobably better 
now than after the eggs hatch.  I'll try today after I get back.

I did find that I had to take out the other fish in the tank - the  
rams are really good at trying to protect the eggs but eventually the  
other fish will get the babies. I had one pair that raised the babies  
up for for several days ok but I had left a kuhli loach in the tank  
and it got the babies one night. After the next batch of eggs the  
father started beating up Mom - I think he blamed her!

Cheers!
Linda
