Aww that's cute. Your choclate just wants a family but I guess does not have a mate? So he had to adopted some kids. That's so funny and sad. I have heard of odd unrelated fish that pair up but never a kidnapper. How are his parenting skills?

I grow up with cichkens and a broody hen will take over another hens nest and raise them as if they were her own.
 
interesting hopefully he does not eat your fry

I have 3 red shoulder but no fry as of yet out of any of my sevs

yeah i guess its kinda cute. the chocolate does have a mate. the funny thing is that its the male that has taken over the fry. i do see him looking at the fry alot but never tries to eat them.

That's so funny. So the severums still want to watch the fry too? So these fry have 3 parents fighing for their love ? Haha that is cute good luck with 3 parents I think they should do ok.
