Batch C

[Second Hand Pat]

These two got together and have a batch of eggs. The same female but with Batch C male which is his first batch. About 150 eggs best guess. Very hard to see the eggs above the female on the wood. ATM the male does not seem to have a clue what his job is but at least he is hanging close to the female.

Good grief, how many different lines are you going to run out of there???

[Second Hand Pat]

I only have three male that I know of so this would be it.

Hanging close alright - he's waiting for her to make breakfast!!!

Congrats.

Most likely Martha ...I am waiting for this new guy to take a turn fanning eggs. he seems to not have a clue. Guard duty does not seem to be his forte either

Is there such a thing as a male assuming dad duties if he is not on his own spawn already.

[Second Hand Pat]

We shall see. Al"s post is making me think about it.

Is this MY batch Pat?

[Second Hand Pat]

It could be Jim if there is enough fry

The Batch C male was clueless and the eggs slowly disappeared. He wouldn't even fan them so he has been banished from the tank and this would allow the Batch B male and the female to pair up on the next batch.
