How can I separate my male BN from the babies once they become active and before he tosses them out of the cave. The last batch went out at night and most of them are gone. It's a community tank. Is there some way of moving everything to a safe area - breeding trap, etc?

He gets in some really good items and will drop the exporter if he doesn't like what he gets from them. He imports from all over the ...

Does anyone know anything about this guy? Algae or wood? I can't find much.
