This male is still working those eggs. Every time I look he is in there fanning away.  This is going to be one worn out BN.  ;D

...that's what they do.... ;D....he'll ease up occasionally....

Well I am waiting patiently.  I know they keep those fry in the caves a long time.

not really, you'll see wigglers soon, then a week,or so they fry begin to run around inside...then it depends on the male as to how soon he thinks that they're good enough to venture out...

And when can I move the cave with the male and the fry into a 5g.?  I think you told me before but the brain is low on buffer space so things don't get processed as they should. LOL

Yes indeed.  ;D ;D ;D  I just moved the cave and everything in it to a 16g bowfront.  No worry about predators in there. LOL  8)

Now he's in the cave with a different female.  She's younger and smaller than the other on so we'll see. :o

It looks like this male is now tending to some albino fry.  His last spawn was with a brown female so I guess this time he lured an albino female into the cave. LOL  ;D ;D ;D My albino females are not very large yet so I think it's a small clutch.
