My jag pair have recently spawned for the first time and I've watched eggs evolve into wrigglers and now little tadpols swimming with their parents. I was amazed how well the parents adapted and how protective they had become. However, ive noticed the number of fry slowly reducing over the last 48hrs and also noticed the parents now randomly eating a couple at a time. Like they will eat one, then on the next bite they will spit one or two back out. For what reason would they be doing this for? If I had to guess i would assume they are slowly culling off the bad from the good?
Tomorrow I'm planning on removing whats left of the fry into their own grow out.
Any advice, tips or suggestions would be appreciated?
