Finished my water changes, Found some interesting things: Guppy fry (Thanks Jon) swimming in some watersprite and two male BN's in the same cave.

I am pretty sure they were fighting over a clutch of eggs in there. I pulled one of them out by the caudal fin and dropped him in a Koi grow out tank. I then put what I think is his cave in there with him.

This is probably a male I just moved back from a 5 gallon tank after he released his fry from the cave. If I pulled the wrong male out of the other cave then I have a male fanning another male's eggs.

They are identical brothers from the same spawn. They are usually in a 75 with three females and 2 caves.

I had just put the male back into the tank when he tried to take over the other males cave. I put him back along with his own cave. This is the first time I ever saw them fight. I have never had any problems with them. lol
