patrick Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Here is a reason for not stripping a female I love this part, when the female let out the fry and then keep an eye open for predators. Once in a while she will scoop them up and move them to a safer place. This is one of my older females and she is about 4 inches. She is a very good mother that will not spit the fry no matter what. She will even pick figths with other females and even males, headbutting them since she can't really use her mouth. I moved her to the spit tank a few days ago. There is about twenty fry in this batch which is pretty good for this particular species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
