These very young H. bartoni are in a super excited state guarding their first spawn. It's out in the open and several fish (mostly other bartoni) have made it known to the pair that they are looking for a snack. My attempts to video the pair didn't help in the least and have upset the pair to the point that they were turning on one another. Just after I took the video, I moved the sponge (and eggs) to another tank to give the pair a rest. Hopefully some will hatch and I'll obtain a few fry. I owe it to the pair to set them up in a better environment so the next time they spawn, they can raise their young in relative peace and quiet.
