Down Breeding
Behaviour Didn't see any behaviour as only found 4 eggs kicked so far. 3 of these went mouldy in the tumbler and one hatched after 7 days. There is more in the cave yet to come out. And of coarse normal trapping would have happened.
Eggs There were 34 golden/yellow eggs laid which were 4.0mm in diameter.
Time to hatch 7 days
Number: 26
Free swimming: 8 days
Segregation Separating into a fry box for target feeding but in the adults tank. I get a good success rate doing this.
