After quite some time of my WC Female Trimac killing every and any tank mate(s) I opted for a new route. I spoke to rapps, and I got some Neets, a pair actually. I removed my Trimac from her tank for about 4 days. I built a driftwood cave/prison (lol) and the Neets didn't use it very much when they had full run of the tank. Another interesting point. My female Neet, had a huge hump on her head to start too. I was actually figured it was the male. After day 4 I moved her back to her tank, It was completely redone, new wood, top level plastic vine and of course 2, 3" or so Male and Female Neets. Day 5, my Trimac established the tank was hers. Don't tread on me lets say. She caught one of the two of the Neets in the open water and blasted them a few times. But as expected, the bad little Neets took what she had and then some. They bonded, they learned their protective wooden home was just that. They pair, protecting each other and growing more adventurous. The would battle my Trimac on occasion from their wooden fortress, actually nipping her fins and occasionally lip locking (that didn't go well for them.) Some shots of their saga.
ONTO THE GOOD STUFF
Last night I stumbled upon this. My Neets must have laid eggs under the wood, and BOOM babies!
I guess my question now is, do I remove the fry, will it hurt their bond? Without food will they just die? Should I feed them to my other fish, or does anyone in NJ want some Neet fry?
