Thank you, Bernd, for clarifying that issue. I was skeptical because in your first message your method was not quite clear. Now it is. And it is an interesting variant. The point is that transferring the cave with larvae inside must be done as late as possible, i.e. only shortly before the young fish swim out. Of course, it must be certain that the water conditions are strictly identical in the two tanks.
As an information to others: Bernd Bussler is one of our best and most experienced breeders of Parosphromenus in Germany. He has bred nearly all species with continuous success. Therefore, his method surely is worthwhile to be followed by people who want to breed bigger numbers of young fish than are to be expected when left in their parent’s home tank.
