I need some tips from experienced breeders. My pair has laid 4 batches.
The first two were eaten at the wiggler stage (don't know if M or F).
The third batch, I put a cage around the breeding cone, and they got to free swim 1 day, then gone.
Fourth batch, I kept the cage and removed the F after 2 day wigglers. Eureka!!:D
Thirty babies made it to free swim and they all attached to the father. For three days everything looked great. Looked like the perfect father, woke up today, all babies gone.:(
Any suggestions as to how I can prevent this? I guess that's the million dollar question isn't it;)
