Hi all
I have a problem. A few weeks ago I saw that my Mbumas had eggs " mouth very swollen" I tried to get her out of the tank but was difficult as I didn't want her to stress too much.after a few days I found her dead. Guess she was harassed to much. A couple of days ago I saw a similar situation where two of my Mbumas were pregnant if I can put it that way. Today I saw her pretty bashed up "tail fin" bitten but managed to rescue her and put her into the hospital tank which I had fortunately prepared in advance. I still need to find the other one and extract her as well. Why is this? Is it because they can't or don't want to defend themselves because of the eggs/fry in her mouth? I need to know if somebody can give me some positive feedback in this regard.
Thanking you all
