is it normal for tha pair to leave the nest to join the other fish and see whats goin on then rush back to the nest when they see anothr fish go by there nest?
a few Q on my JB cons right now..
- Thread starter livebearerfreak
- Start date
Ya my cons go for swims then dart back to the nest, most of the time it's more of a chasing off potental danger thing then anything else.
when my jb started breeding i found it easier to remove them and give them there own tank. after the fry mature enough about 3 weeks i moved them to there own tank. then after about another 3 weeks they became feeders for my oscars and jd.
well im only gunna be raiseing one batch then giving the female to my friend and keepin a couple of juvis
ok a few more Qs poped up in my head.. should i use sand in the 5 gallon ( well gunna ask my friend first since im just borrowing the tank for time being ) but if i am able to use sand will an inch in layers work??? and the shell is goin in there PLUS can i add a castle ( the colorful ones u get at walmart )or 2 in there???
The sand you can do but you will only need like 1/2 to 3/4 inch.
The Castle I would not bother with, not only will the fry hide in it so you wont see them but it eats up space that could be for water, and personally I think they look tacky. If any thing go with some rocks and make caves that way looks way better.

A castle? A CASTLE? You want as much water in there a possible, more water more stability, why waste money on a castle when you sohuld be saving up on a stand or something more important, you will need a sponge filter and heater, sand or gravel would do fine
