Theres evan more
My bns have laid another load of eggs this lot is about twice the size of all the others so im wondering if both of my females have spawned with him at the same time. Because there are no fry in the 15G now im going to set it up again and move the male plus eggs to that tank so the banjo catfish cant munch on them.

Re: Theres evan more
Haha. Im not sure whether to move the male and eggs or just leve them in the tank. I dont want to risk stressing the male and killing the eggs by moving them but if i leave them then the banjo might eat the eggs.

Re: Theres evan more
Thats a good idear. I could put him in the breeding trap but i will have to put enough sand for him to bury himself in or he will get stressed out.

Re: Theres evan more
Well that ould be where the problem is he would need to be in there for about 1 week before the fry are big enough not to get eaten but i might just leave him in there until the eggs hatch (sunday night-monday morning) And then put the fry in the breeding trap because by that point they wont need to be fanned by the male.

Re: Theres evan more
that will work, it will be easier than moving all the eggs and the male. and the fry will be ok in the trap. as long as it isnt going to hurt the banjo to be in there for a few days then that will be a lot easier i think!

Re: Theres evan more
The only thing im worried about is the banjo not haveing enough room hes 4" long. Plus he will only be out and moving about at night so might not be active enough in such a small place.

Re: Theres evan more
Theres a 15G but That will take me a while to set up and i have no sand to use in there atm. I might just leave him in there and risk it. I dout i will have room for this many anyway there must be about 200 so might aswell let him have some good food. :[

Re: Theres evan more
well with that many you may have a good few survive and if you dont have the room for them it would make sense to just let nature take its course.

Re: Theres evan more
Thanks. I should have the rack up within the next few months but since the 15G split i dont really have anywhere else o put them and i think it would overstock the tank if they all survived.
