If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably isn't.

There may be two distinct types of breeders- those who do it strictly for profit vs those who do it because of a dedication to helping to keep the species alive. In either case most, if not all of them, have one thing in common. Both have probably shelled out a substantianal amount of money to acqui...

All I know is I have shined a light into my caves numerous times to check on what is up (normally mornings and evenings every day). When there have been eggs in there the male has moved to keep them all hidden but as far as I can tell, the males have never eaten the eggs. I have spotted eggs 7 times...

I got the colony from INXS who said they came from 3 sep wild shipments a number of years ago. Since only two of my males are breeding with an unknown number of females, at least 2 and likely more, I assume that 6 fry chosen from slightly different sized fish help guarantee a somewhat diversified ge...

I have already devised a plan for selling my fry that is designed to work sort of this way. I really want to see my fish go to folks who will grow them out and try to spawn them but may not have the money to buy them at going prices. I also whish to avoid putting them into the hands of folks who hav...

Just a followup. I converted a cyled 15 to growout. I pulled the first cave- male and fry. 7 fry exited the cave over the next 36 hours and I returned the cave with dace to main tank believing all the fry were out. I was wrong, one or two rode back with dad. I recently repeated this process with ano...

Catching fry in the main tank would only be possible if I broke down the tank to the glass. Ideally I would like to pull cave have dad kick em out inside 24 hours and then return dad and cave. I have had 4 spawns before these two plus the 5 fry that came with the colony. It took a major maint. sessi...

Advice on Moving Fry/Eggs in Caves
I have had a number of spawns which have been left in the main tank with the adults. However, I feel it is now prudent to move some of the current batches into a growout tank to hedge my bets. I know I can move the cave with dad and free swimming fry easily. But I also have a dad on eggs in a second...
