I am not sure if you have all heard, but we are in the process of...
The male is currently the sole care giver for the fry. I was finally able to get the female separated before he killed her. As mentioned earlier up to free swimming mom was the care taker, but once the young ventured from the cave it was all on the male. I am seeing far less effort on the part...
