It's fun watching these guys breed, isn't it? When you get some fry out of it, they are really easy to raise--it isn't uncommon for them to take crushed flake food, either.
Bad news. He's either swallowed them or spat them out!!!.
I'm not totally surprised. I've done a majore rescape on the tank, plus drilling holes to hang the new lights, I think I'd get a bit stressed as well. I'm now going to make conscious effort and try and get them into the "Love Shack" before they start making whoopy again:grinyes:
what a shame, at least you know they're happy with their home, since they have no problem gettin it on, keep us posted if ya find anyof those eggs/babies
