one of my guys is a gal...either that or I deserve the Nobel Prize for Fishology by virtue of successfully spawning fish in an all male tank.
I've seen one teeny little fry hiding out in the tank...I'm thinking that he/she is likely to be ate but curious as to the rate of growth...i.e. how long before he would be considered too much for a mouthful.
Inhabitants are malawi & a couple of tangs, no one bigger than 3 - 4 inches standard length. There are also 2 syno multipunctatus cat fish, again no bigger than 4 inches SL.
The fry's growth is likely to be compromised by the fact that I have nothing to feed him on and no way of feeding him anyway...I'm guessing he's nibbling on algae/detritus in the tank ? He/she is currently about 1 cm long, maybe slightly larger.
Yes it must be a hybrid, no it will not leave the tank.
As always thanks for any help.
