    Default Odd positioning

    You guys ever have one of your pair act strange when they have fry on them? I have one female that contorts her body in all kinds of a fashions and it's rather nerve racking at times. Swims side ways at angles sometimes suspends herself mid column flat.

    funny you mention that Tara, my female had started getting really aggressive towards the fry. They were about a week old. Does your male eat them soon after attachment or further out?

    He did it the first time about 3 days after attachment and the last spawn it was the day after they attached.
