Hi all my name is dottie im new on here .
Just had to share my news !!!!!!
my severum babys hatched whoopee.
This is the second time (the parents ate the first brood }
MUM laid her eggs on a rock which she and the dad fanned and patroled for a day
or so .
Mum then decided to move them all to another rock .They were there for a day
before she decided she had found the most perfect nest for them .
.So both parents once again sucked the eggs into their mouths a few at a time
till all the eggs were blown out and all safely tucked inside an old pop sock
tied around a plant with stones to weigh it down.
They have now hatched and the parents are busily rounding all the tiny escapees
up in their mouths and spitting them back into the nest.
Whoe betide if any of the other tank members come too near .They are immediately
sent packing lol.
Its so amazing to watch my grandkids are loving it all .
Ive bred mollies and guppies etc before but the severums are a joy to watch as
they fuss around looking after their family .
