How many pumpkinseeds?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I did pick up the pumpkinseeds several weeks ago. Ended up with one male and three females. You can probably guess what 2 of them did today.

Came from work to find the male guarding 100s of eggs, and the three females at the other end of the tank. What appears to be the female that spawned is rather beat up.
Any tips (first foods, etc.) on raising the fry if all goes well? I won't be able to care for all of them, but maybe keep a few. Will the females be ok in the tank with the male? I don't have room to move them out.
 
Fry started to hatch yesterday.

On the NANFA website they have info on the raising of Pumpkinseeds , but I would do research on the net first so you have a general idea; if your tank is big enough use a divider to seperater your male and his brood from the females (for their sake).
