My pair of GBR from Frank Coward just spawned. Unfortunately, I found the the male dead entangled in Anubias roots as I was preparing for the Spring Auction. Female just laid a bunch of eggs on a leaf in aquarium. She is quarding them closely. There is a flower pot cave in the tank which she ignored
. I am not sure what to do? Should I clip leaf and move it to the pot or just leave it alone? Also, I am planning to buy one of the "likely male" GBR offered in the auction. Other denizens of tank are 2 Black Mollies that have been clearing out hair algae, a large very old neocardinia shrimp and a twig catfish.
Do I need to remove the Mollies from the aquarium? Can the female GBR raise the fry herself? Will the "likely male" GBR harm the fry? Plus, I am heading on vacation at the beginning of May.
Looking for ideas/comments from experienced breeders!!!
