	JD Fry
Light_Bright Moderator Posts: 1156 Kudos: 1403 Votes: 351 Registered: 16-Jan-2002	I have over 100 JD fry. They just hatched today. Right now the male is very possesive and keeping the female away from them. Should I move the parents or keep them with the fry? ___________________________________________ If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished.

If you remove one of the parents then remove the male. I'd leave them both for a couple of days though and see how they do.

The male is a 4 inch juvie and the female is his mother, an adult female. They are very photo sensitive and have some fungal issues but are getting better. They will be going to auction in 3 weeks health permitting. I will keep a watch on them and can move the parents if I see trouble. Thanks guys ___________________________________________ If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished.
