Re: [GSAS-Member] Brichardi Spawning

["Doerr, Jesse" <Jesse.Doerr@fei.com>]

55 gallon with lots of rocks and some giant vals. It was one of the
tanks shown in the home show.

They're actually spawning in the perfect place, any powdered food that
is put on the top ends up getting washed through the nest by the HOB
filter.

Yep, very normal behavior for these fish.  It will go on for generations

like that if you let them.  What size tank are they in?
