Eating Wrigglers

[Drew]

Well my Pair have laid eggs again, only a week after there last lot. Last time i lost them at Wrigglers tho. Not sure if its just cause there new to it or if its because there in a community tank. It seemed that they Wrigglers were mistakenly getting eaten buy the father when other fish would approach and he still had them in his mouth. As parents they just dont seem to leave them alone when they start to swim around. Its as if it stresses them out that they are swimin (guess its like a toddler) anyhow am thinking that i might try to divide the tank this time so that they dont have to worry about the other fish coming close and fingers crossed we maybe able to keep them longer.

Will try and get some pics for you all to have a look at.

If I were to take breeding seriously I would have a dedicated tank to mum and dad. When the parents work out the birds and bees and make babies they don't intend to eat, you don't have to worry about other predators.

I read somewhere it can take parents 12 times to get it right.
