northland chic Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Fighters had babies last week. We saw them swimming, alot seemed to be dead not swimming just falling to the floor. He kept picking them up and putting them in his nest. They have probably been swimming for about 2-3 days. Not very good swimmers at all no direction just going anywhere. But now I can't find any. Would he eat them? How quick can they breed again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interfecus Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 The males do eat them after they leave the nest. He seems to lose all of his protective instincts and simply views them as a snack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter McLeod Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 If mum and dad are fed well they will be ready again in a week or so.The male may need a bit longer than the female if he hasn't eaten.Watch the weather and try to set the tank up a day or two before a low arrives and feed them some live food to give them a rainy season feeling.
