Eugene Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Got some fry mommy's guarding them in a community tank.I'm thinking I should leave a small light on in the evening for a week cause there is 2 synodontis in there.I bought them at the ACE auction last year can anyone tell me who sold them or know anything more about them?.

nancyr Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I have had buffalohead fry in a 90 gallon tank with an 8 inch sydontis, electric yellows and strawberry peacocks with no issue. The fry and mom will stay in small caves or under a rock depression in the sand, but then mother only successfully reared about 2. If you are asking who breeds bullaloheads I think his last name is Christensen, he comes from around Edmonton way, and always sits in the first row at the auction, last auction I think he even took on the role of auctioneer for a spell. Maybe I am not right on his name but that is the chap. Nancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairdeal Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Once the fry leave the protection of the cave the female starts to lose interest and lets them fend more for themselves until she gets to the point of showing no interest at all. Natures way of guaranteeing survival of the fitest. There will generally only be 4 or 5 that will make it if left alone. Yes they are pretty quick once they get out into the open but they have to be fast to survive. If you plan on saving all of them you have to get them while they are still altogether in the cave. After that a net works best unless you are lucky enough to have them retreat to the cave after lights out then you just have to lift the cave out.
