They can reproduce well into their 15th year and probably beyond. Very nice fry. I'm not sure I would stress dad out like that, but then again I regularly peek in with a flashlight, so I'm not sure it's that different ;).

Barbie,
I agree - I only take the removable top off when I move the fry from parents tank to the grow up babies tank.
