Going To Have Channoides While On Vacation!

[constantine03]

My male has a ton of eggs in his mouth! I would LOVE to have babies, but I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow and will be gone for two weeks!! I have someone coming to feed the fish, but he's a novice, and not someone I would count on taking care of fry. Should I just let them be, and hope that some make it? Take the male out and put him in a container on his own? What would you do?

Maybe leave him put put loads and loads of plants in so babies have a chance of survival if they can hide

never a good idea to move a mouthbrooder that is laiden, i would leave him there as there is always another time that you will get a spawn.

could you keep the male in the tank and remove all other fish....then add as many live plants as you can cram it. perhaps the babys will have a chance of making it.
