ryanjury Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Have all the fry hidden because you stirred up the tank and upset them all when you removed the fish? Or did you remove one of the pair upsetting the remaining parent enough to eat the fry? Or did you stir up the tank so much the pair felt threatened and ate the babies? A few options that may or may not be the cause.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Had a feeling that may have happened they are usually pretty good parents.. Glad to hear they are ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
