My male is guarding a clutch of eggs in a 1 1/4 " (might be 1 1/2 ") PVC. Not sure how long he has had them as he has been guarding the cave for months with no eggs.
What is the hatch time frame (23 deg)?
How big are they and will they stay in the cave with him etc?
They are in with 2 minnows (were 5 but they never bred in the 3 years I've had them), 20 odd blond guppies, 5 glass catfish, 2 panda whiptails, kuhli loaches and a 20+ cm goldspot pleco:
Will they get eaten?
If I move them to a breeding trap/cage will dad still look after the eggs?
Anything else I should/shouldn't do?
