My male Abdopus turned out to be a female and has laid many eggs in her cave She has been showing very strange behavior. When she started brooding she blocked up her den for two days without coming out at all, then she was out for a few days taking little swims across the tank and then would retreat back to the den to clean the eggs and then go back out. When she comes out she greedily accepts food and hunts the other fish in the tank strange???
I am going to try and rear the eggs I know that it is almost impossible to do with the small egg species but I will try.
What I have is this food Its called Coral Smoothie it contains nine types of macroalgae, Copepods, Copepod eggs, Baby muscles, Baby Clams, Artemia Naupilli, Squid, and fish eggs. I am also going to use this Phytoplankton mix so I can make the Babies feel more at home, and give the prey some food to eat in the tank if they arent eaten. And therefore wont rot at the bottom of the tank.
Please tell me if you have any suggestions because I need all the help I can get thank you.
