    Mouth brooder

    How do I know when my hongi is ready to let her fry out? And do I have to separate mum from fry? She is kinda getting a Lil dark under her mouth . I've had her for 10 days and 3 days before I saw her at the LFS and she was already holding so I would say she's been holding in between 15-20 days
