O no, They are still back in that corner and they will not let the other 2 any where near there... The male comes out sometimes but the female stays back there until feeding time Then she will only come out for a second to grab a mouth full of food and goes right back there to protect the farm...
Please I need help with EBJD question...

Well that's great! It's said that 2 ebjd can't produce viable fry... So far your pair are proving that wrong unless the fry just start to die off as the days/weeks go by. I have a marble convict pair with that problem so I know about the fry decreasing in numbers due to weak genes. Good luck man!
Thanks a lot Crush... They say some times the fry will survive for a week or 2, But there has never been a case of any living more them a month (in my research that I found) and that was with top breeders who have been doing it for 100 years.. LOL ... So yes I did find some wigglers in there today but they are so small they will never survive, It looks like a white piece of thread moving around in the tank... I will keep you updated if I make History!!!! LOL...Well that's great! It's said that 2 ebjd can't produce viable fry...

Just a little update for those interested I did find about 10 or 12 very small baby fish hiding back in the corner of the tank inside the plants back there... They do not look like the first wigglers I found in there, You can actually tell these are small fish... Maybe I will get lucky and be the first one to breed them together!!! Or maybe I will just be like everyone else and they will all die off in the next week or 2!!! LOL.. I am going to try to get some pictures of them later but I really don't think I will be able to because they are so far back there and it is real dark in the plants..

So are you saying they had a spawn that you did not know about? Man if you missed that you might want to brighten up your tank a little(jk because its yours and you do what you want). But as long as they keep spawning in it, leave well enough alone!
No,No, They are from the spawn they just had I believe... I watch them good and always doing WC so I would have seen them before, It is the ones they just had....So are you saying they had a spawn that you did not know about?

Im going to make a video of them today and put it on later.. I see atleast 100 of them in there and they are still doing good as of now.. Im not going to take them out of the tank I am just putting them in a breeding net and leave them in the tank.. I put this tank together just for EBJD's, It have 3 times the filters it needs with a big UV sterilizer, thick layer of black sand and a lot of live plants.. I do 2 40% W.C.'s a week on it and take real good care of it just because I know EBJD do not do well for most people and I wanted mine to survive!!! Watch for the video later today... Thanks again for your interest Crush..So how many fry do you have now? Also are you going to leave them with the parents to grow out?
So here is a video I tried making of the fry but have came to the conclusion my camera is a cheap piece of stuff... I tried to use a flash light so you could see the wigglers and it scared the stuff out of mommy and she knocked them all over the tank with her tail when she took off.. So I tried to get a video of them in the tank and in the net but the one in the tank is a mess...
