I got a quick question.... my firemouths had some babies two weeks ago... all seemed fine. The bigger fish kept chasing the smaller one and was constantly surrounded by the fry. I read that they are just being protective of the fry, so thats why it was extra aggressive. Well, my question is this.... is the bigger fish that is being protective the male or female? And then why did they eat all the babies? And how often do they lay eggs, cause it looks like they made another "hole" in the gravel, which they did the first time they laid eggs? Anyone.............?
