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

  Thanks Jenny,
  Good thing, it was only 5 of them in the tank unlike 100's of them in the 
55G.  Anyway, they are removed and now only the threat for the eggs is those 
speedy snails and I hope the Dad can handle them.  
  And I think the Dad start to think that it is not good idea for the Mom to 
get to close to those eggs either.  
  He is not beat her up or nothing but more like push her away from the eggs 
when she gets too close.  
  We'll see how they do tomorrow.  They are schedule to hatch on 
tomorrow(Thursday).
