A pantyhose would cover the filter intake just fine. I just had my first batch eggs and of fries of Texas. As I keep only africaneers, this is new to me.
I am enjoying the swarm immensely. I am planning to syphon off some of the fries whenthey get a bit hardier. I will leave plenty for the parents to look after. if you take all of the fry. One of the parents may think that the other have eatent he fries and could kill the other one!
Size and gender does not matter in this revenge scenareo). My friend is growing up the remaining of his fries, about 7 in a one galloner and they are all over one inch now.
it is best to have some fast predators to minimize the number of the fries growing up. As it would be a major hastle to raise them in time and tank sapce, not to mention to give them a way to a good home.
As it is I have a small (2 inch) brave albino socolofi who keeps trying to get close enough to hunt the fries!
A two inch socolofi is not a match for a 4 and 6 inch brooding Texas! But he thinks he can handle them and likes the excitement of it!
The swarm is about 150 fries. All I want is to have 6-10 fries left which will be growing up with africanners. the parents have grown up with africanners and use to them.
If anyone in southern CA wants the grown up pair. Let me know they will be available in 3-4 weeks.
