I removed the parents so they wouldn't eat the fry (from what I read, it seemed likely that they would). I'm not sure what kind of daphnia I have but they're not the big ones. They are smaller than brine shrimp. It sounds like yours are maturing nicely! Hopefully they'll get busy soon!

I figured if they were attempting to eat BN fry, they would consider their own fry a tasty snack.

The daphnia sound small and so I can't imagine they would bother your fry. The fry are smart enough to swim away.

If I have read correctly, I have three females and 1 male. We'll see if they are interested in breeding in 6 months or so.

I have 4 of these in a 4x2x2, along with Clowns and Kubotai, Ancistrus and various killifish. My males have a very strong red base colouration and a blocky forehead, whereas the females are more blueish and streamlined. They compete very successfully with the loaches for Grindals, bloodworm, flake and pellets. Nice robust little fish!

Cheers,

Mine are living with 2" Clown loaches and Kubotai. They are spunky little fish. I really do like them, and I am very happy to have found them.
