Segregation | Two batches of eggs were found in the tank, presumably after being kicked out by the male. The two egg clutches were placed in a separate tank in a German breeding ring. As I forgot about the eggs, I am uncertain exactly how long it took them to hatch. Fry were kept in the breeding ring for approximately 2 weeks. They were then moved to a 2.5 gallon aquarium. |
