camtang Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 My shellies made some off spring today :happy1: :happy1: the parents are doing a good job thus far at protecting the area. I would like to build up my group from five to around ten and then when I have numbers I am happy with take a few out and design a tank set up just for them. Would it be better to leave the fry with their parents and go with survival of the fittest or remove them tomorrow and let them grow out and re introduce them later. I have read that the fry are very finiky when it comes to water conditions and stability. so thought leaving them in with parents would be better idea even with the other preditors around. Any ideas? :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camtang Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Nope I don't have them anymore. I sold the female to G.Eagle who has now got loads of fry from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
