L144 spawn in community tank
Posted: 04 Sep 2014, 00:51
Need some advice from the pros so one young pair of L144 just bred in my community tank just week after I got them. I'm still new at this hobby so extra tank is out of the question right now. Tank is 46gal with 10 neon tetras, 7 show guppies (males), 4 julii corry, 5 L144 the pair and 3 juvies. I have HOB fry saver large size driven by airpump providing light current and fresh water from the tank.
I was told that guppies will go after small fry so today I saw 3 wigglers that escaped the cave so i have put them in the fry saver rest is in the cave but i'm guessing more will come out. The wigglers are about day old.
Am I better off getting the guppies in fry saver for 2-3 weeks and leaving the fry in main tank or neon tetras would go after them as well. If they should go into fry saver can I move the cave into fry saver now before they escape let say at night and get eaten when I'm not around? Male is still guarding the cave.
Thank you
