they are in a 30 for now, they gaurd their babies, they wont eat them themslelves but they keep other fish away from them so that they cant eat them either !
the first couple of times they *can* eat their own, but they are only learning and normally get the hang of it very soon, 3 spawns tops.... im not sure where they hid the babies right now but theres a few more days before they become free swimming, this being their first spawn i was going to have the babies in a breeding trap, i saw one of the babs yesterday but by the time i had my net i lost him again
