breeding

[dap]

Hi to everyone :wink:
thanks for all your input
I have put my metalic blue and Blue diamond in a smaller tank and they have already got eggs :D
waiting to see if they are fertile
the blue diamond is male ( i think )
and he will not let the metalic blue near them and keeps fighting :(
should I leave them both in the same tank :?:

they are fertile :o
I have about 60 wigglers :D
there was about 15 or more not fertile
I have taken out the metalic blue discus :(

That's the right thing to do dap.

Sometimes one parent will take over, and not let the other parent near the eggs or fry. Just creates tension in the tank, and the fry are likely to get eaten, so removing the other parent is the right way to go.

One parent is well able to feed and raise a spawn of 60 fry.

Good luck with them :D
