What an awesome thing to wake up to. Big daddy was always stuck in his little hole and now I know why. If memory serves the father protects the eggs correct? Wow what an awesome experience. I have only seen 5 of them, they are sooooo small. thumbs2:

Congrats!
I beleive that both parents will take turns guarding their young.
Is there anything in the tank that will eat the fry?

Congrats on the fry. Get some cucumbers or peas in there for them to feed on. be sure to parboil or nuke them a bit.

Zucchini is another good option. My pleco loves zucchini squash. I have to tie it to a weight with fishing line otherwise it'll float, but sometimes he chews it so much it breaks free and he'll still go to the top to eat it.

How ironic, I was just thinking of the Albino BN I used to have. Congrats on the fry I hope they survive.
