Good on them.
Not long now before we can set-up a really good fry exchange between breeders

i went to pull the fry out this morning and guess what, yeah he ate them again,i have totally left him alone to get on with it as well, this male is becoming very frustrating :-(
maybe a dozen or more times, at first he would eat the eggs pretty much as soon as they where laid but i managed to pull 21 fry from the last spawn, not sure if they got chance to hatch this time
I would like to say that he will improve with age Dave but I have a 400 that is 4 years old and always eats the eggs. I pulled them for a few spawns and then gave him another go but he did exactly the same again:wb:
Is it just a pair or do you have more than one female?.

hmmmm ok. Maybe worth a trying to keep just a pair. My 260 would often spawn and then eat the eggs because he always had a female ready to spawn sat outside his cave. When kept as a pair he never ate the eggs.
Worth a shot IMO.

good idea mr gee i think i might just try that and see what happens, i guess i could rotate females as well so they get a bit of a break and if that dont work i will be looking for another male
cheers

Good luck
