Kribensis at it again

I got the parents a few months ago and they have had about 8 successful spawns. Only 5 or so of their young have reached adulthood but they are steadily getting better and better at protecting their young, especially after I moved around a few of the decorations to give them some extra cover.
This is the mother

And this is the father

There is algae on the tank because they refuse to let my pleco go back there and clean up.

Congratz What are you gonna do with the fry? When mine spawned, at first I was delighted and then I was annoyed because my tank was overstocked with them.

 

[mattgreene]

Haha I am running into that same problem. When it gets to crowded I was thinking about taking them to the store where I originally got the parents and trading them in for store credit.

If that works - awesome, store credit is always good
If it doesn't, you gotta problem. I rotted all but one out in my tank and I don't miss them apart from their fry-raising-behaviour.

They have given me some fairly generous store credit in the past but that was for a different fish. Hopefully it works out again

cool fish you should give me one

great protection as pleco always suck up the eggs at night and they have raised 8 batches from which 5 were successful with that pleco, astonishing
