Feb 23: Noticed female Ngara holding fry. Not sure on the father but at this point I'm assuming a regular Acei.
March 7th: She has a rather large bulge in her mouth. Surprisingly she is not being harassed by any of the other fish.
March 9th: Easily removed holding mother from main tank while she was sleeping. When James tried to pick her up out of the net to put her into the transport bag she woke up and spit most of her fry into the net. We stripped the remaining 5 fry out of her mouth by holding it open at the sides. She did not struggle in the slightest. I put the mother back into the main tank and fed. Transported fry to 10 gal QT for temporary housing and fed. In a few weeks they will be transported to a 55 gal grow out tank.
March 10th: Acei fry ate all of the angel fry that was on the other half of the divider in the 10 gal tank. One would think the baby brine shrimp that I fed them last night would be enough. Apprently not. The angels were curious and wiggled their way to the other side of the tank to "mingle" with the Acei. Not a smart move for the angels.
