hobcas Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Patience is the key, it won't happen overnight but it will happen. It sounds like he is happy with his cave he just needs to convince the girls, feed them well and that piece of string will get shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gino123456 Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 I have 1 batch of babies But was wondering what is the best way of doing it, leaving dady with the babies for a while or taking the fry out or taking the fry out with the cave and put a new cave for dad and put the fry in a separate tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L127 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 yay babies.. i always take mine away from daddy an put them in another tank.. only because i have big canisters with big pipes.. dont want the little guys to be sucked up them.. but some people leave them in the same tank.. really up to you.. good work anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
