He is on top of her
OMG panic.. babies I can't cope with babies

[Skirge]

Man it has not taken long.. its what i wanted BUT its just hit me I aint got a clue what am doing.
Just tried to get a photo but the corral is right at the back and a tiny opening in it.

 

[Skirge]

Been and got a small tank setup, come back and its hard to see but it looks like he is in there on his own now.

Dont get too flustrated remember......


A watched Pleco never moves..... Its like a watched kettle never boiling !

relax, he knows what he is doing even if you dont.
what is this corral? BNs nest in some odd places.
If he is minding egges he will be moving about quite a lot and fanning, stand back and let heim get on with it. thebabies wont appear for a couple of weeks, in the meantime if they are in a small tank and you can set up another one for the fry get that set up and cycling. how big is the tank and what other fish are in it?
try and do a small (5-10% ) water change most days with water the same temp as the tank approx.
if you can post a photo of the tank that might help.
