So, now I have quite a lot freeswimming fry from the first clutch in the tank with trio. They stay close to cover but it seems, that with the very dark water and so many leaves and plants, they do not hide that much. They are very lively and actively hunting some organisms on the leaf litter. BUT of course the smaller female is hunting them. It looks like she is not very succesful untill now, they seem to be very fast and aware of danger, but still I am not happy about it and I feel somewhat emotionaly interested 😀 These are my first Paro fry. I was planning to remove the trio but when I checked the cave, there is of course another clutch in there. I also have another clutch from other pair developing for about 4 days and there may be another one in the third tank, becouse the male never shows up for feeding and just sometimes I can see him sticking the head out of the leaves at the back of the tank. It is evident that production of clutches is not a problem, so I am thinking about moving the male from the trio with his cave to another tank and see if he is able to hold the clutch anyways, becouse the first freeswimming fry is more valueble than the new clutch. What are your opinions? Or would you rather try and just move the breeders and try to raise the clucth without a male?
