Re: fish food
Hi Scott. It is more than just that. A single pair= fry ignored. Add just
a third or 4th fish = NO fry. With gardneri you can watch a second female
following the pair and eating the eggs. Seems almost like a breeding pair
know they are having fry and non breeding single or multiple fish present
just know food when they see it. It is not just in the numbers and food
availability.
