Garhan Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 (edited) About a week to 10 days ago my Geophaugus juliensis dung another 5 " pitt in the 150 gallon, made a huge mess with plant and substrate matter complete blocking off my trickle filter prefilters and primary sponges and laid eggs again. Up rooted several well established 24" sword plants and cryts that have been in place for 1 year....rrrrr :cry: . So thinking that the predators would be having a feast soon after the eggs hatch, all would be ok. :beer: They hatched 3 days ago and guess what ? There are still about 500 fry in the community tank full of 8 Adult angels, 2 discus 5" 3 African Bubble Bee cats at 6 " each a half dozen other GJ and 4 Geophagus brasliensis. Man I am surprized how well these two parents protect there young in this enviornment. :boxer: So today I syphoned off about 400 fry and the hose took a beating with my hand. :bang1: Complete with tooth marks on my hand of course. I left about 50 fry :thumbs: with parents just to make them feel a job was well done. If some of those fry make it then great if not back to my original thinking :shifty: ...smorgasborg in South America.. :smokey: Garhan Edited January 10, 2006 by Garhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
