Hello everyone,
we are currently on our 2nd batch of green severum fry, last time we left them in the community tank and the severum lost them all to the ropefish we keep (most likely during the night) this time however we decided to setup a breeding tank, ive read that the fry are selfsustaining if they are free swimming so we syphoned most of them out and left a few in (too much of a hassle to get them all). this time however after our green severum lost the remaining fry they had our female "decolored" ive never seen her like this she looks incredibly stressed. the male does harras her now and then but not continuously. Is it normal for the female to stress out this much after losing her fry? should i think about moving her out of the larger tank? its 400L with lots of hiding spots even for her. and if i moved her to the tank the fry are in (150L a bit small for her tbh) would she leave the fry which are now 2 weeks old alone?
