I thought it was time for a little update on this particular tank. It has now been running for around four months and everything is going well.
There are times when I wonder, how many fish is in there still, – are they all there ?
It clear to me that they have split the tank in two major ‘areas’ – and two dominant males have found my preplaced caves. So there are two males, one in each side of the tank, – some females very clearly ‘belonging’ to one of the caves, always around the same area, – and then there are som ‘loose’ fish, a few less dominant males and a few smaller females. They occupy the main area of the tank, sneaking around underneath the leaves.
If I feed with moinas suddenly there are many fish in there 🙂
One day I found out that there were two little fry swimming. I have posted photoes in another thread, but will post them again here.
Since that day I have counted at least 5 fry. That is a surprise to me that they spawned in there. Since then I have added 20 boraras. This may of course mean there will be no more or less fry, – but then that will have to be. It was never intended to be a breeding tank. And I am actually not so sure boraras are a big thread to fry ? They dont seem to move in those areas of the tank where I would think fry is moving.
Here some photoes of one of the males, the fry and one of the bigger females.
