Which species of Laetacara do you have? I saw some nice thayeri at my lfs but they're pretty expensive so I picked up a curviceps instead.

longhairedgit Fish Guru Lord of the Beasts Posts: 2502 Kudos: 1778 Votes: 29 Registered: 21-Aug-2005	Edited by longhairedgit Theyre dorsigera's, probably about an inch long, I actually just put them in with the bettas for a month or two for grow-out until they were robust enough for a bigger community, and it turns out theyre sexually mature! Actually this is my first time with this species, and while im sure even a small acara is more than a match for a betta, and the pair fairly well able to protect most of their young without persecution of fish in a tank that heavily planted, would it be beneficial to segregate the imminent fry for their safety? Will they do well without the parents?
