| Other Information: |
I removed the male 23 days after I noticed him not eating. To get the male to release the fry I netted him and placed the net in the rearing tank, he spit the fry out and I returned him to the sump.
Fry started eating NHBS and copepods soon after being released.
Also in the rearing tank are a few pre-mets P. fridmani, a small piece of LR and some macroalgae. |
