Hello all I have two Jack dempsey's, in my 400L Tank. One is female and the other, male. I recently woke up to find they had laid eggs on a peice of slate in the tank.

He seems to be healing up after moving him to non brackish fry tank. So fingers cross he recovers greatly. Also found out my mollys had been mistaking him for food when he flares up whilst sleeping as hes nocturnal and theyre not. So good to have him away from them. Thanks for advice. :)
