Red snook x bp spawn

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
So I have an interesting update. I thought I'd give it a go putting my smaller batch in with the first one (trying to clear up some space). The first batch is pushing 1" (not quite there), while the smaller are probably just over 1/4". At first there was some chasing, seemed to be mostly curiosity. So I leave for a while, and come back in the middle of a massacre. They larger 1st batch were annihilating the others. I put 50-75 in, and can now only see a half dozen. I'm sure a lot are hiding, but these bastards are mean! I watched them for a while, and they would swim across and t-bone the little ones. It was vicious! I'm going to enjoy these guys. On top of all this, I can't get the parents to stop breeding. They just spawned for the 4th time, and I just cleaned the rock off to keep the peace in my tank. Looks like I'll be getting rid of one or the other, cause this spawning is getting ridiculous....

Start shipping rock with egg on it. I'd be glad to hatch em out and ship the rock back. :D [seriously] :)

try taking the rock out of the tank so they cant lay eggs on it anymore

I considered that, but this last spawn was on a piece of driftwood along with the rock. I'm pretty sure their bond is tight enough to make it happen anywhere they want. :nilly: We'll see, I really don't want to part with either of them, so....we'll see.
