dobbin4 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 You can take her out or leave her there.If shes a good mum and it sounds like she is it should not be a prob for a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link2Hell Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hi Litho what sort of shell are they in ....... have any pics with the right type of shell you can flush the fry out as the female will lock herself in the shell, then put the shell with the female back in the breeding tank feed fry with anything high protien micro worms and BBS are the best starters don't feed anything too big for then to eat as this can cause deformities to the head especially the jaws Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilli Powder Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 And you have to be careful when the female is in the shell and you are trying to flush out the babies because her movement can squash the fry! And gently flush them out otherwise a hard knock into the fry saver or similar can also damage the fry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
