jvision Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 They lay their eggs in the shell. She stays in there b/c she's guarding eggs or fry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfries Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 It's not make a sense to me, as my knowledge when a female laying egg, she should stay in the shell, let the male make the sperm into the shell & she staying inside untill eggs become to fries but my female ran away the shell. Before that she laid once time & staying inside or sometimes come out for feed. do not hiding like this time. If a female lay eggs & then run away, other fish will eat the eggs at all.So she should stay around the shell to order to protect her eggs.do I say it is right!

jvision Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 If the fish are young, they may have to learn to be good parents. When I had some calvus, it was the 3rd spawning attempt before I saw fry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
