My pair have about 15 3 week old fry and are about to spawn again. Will the current fry survive or get eaten when parents spawn again?
Generally speaking Parental pair takes out the previous spawn to make way for the new spawn...In the cases that i noticed where this doesn't happen is when after a few weeks Postspawn There still a large amount of fry in the tank and when they spawn again that large amount of fry may be allowed to feast on the eggs uncontested...I would say in this case since you are down to 15 That these fry are likely to be in danger To be taken out completely..If you have your heart set on raising any from those 15 ,best Move some to their own Tank To play it safe...Just my opinion and experience....
Cool thanks for the info... I see that your pair are at the same stage as mine. How big are they now?
Your welcome...my male is approx 9.5 inches... female about 6 inches....here are a couple of pics a distance from the side of the 150g he is in for size reference..your pair is looking thick and nice btw
Haven't updated in awhile... Been very busy with marching band and keeping up with school work! Now its lifting season!!!!!! Anyways here he is compared to my hand. Runs up to the glass when I put my hand there but no flaring or attacking.....YET!
Very very nice....a stunner now and for sure even more so in the future....a mota is a great looking fish....
Starting to get some teeth in! don't want to take him out to get an accurate measurement yet, I'm trying to eyeball it, I'd say 4-5 inches! And the little bugger is afraid of the ruler so I used my hand as a size reference. and on my camera roll I found a picture of my old female jaguar
