Dave Fisherman's Rubbish Bin

Last nite, notice my convict pair was behaving unusually agressive, and I knew they're up to some hanky panky ideas again. This morning, ta da~!!






They're agressively defending their eggs. Their eggs are splattered all around the little pebbles and the tank floor. hmm... must had been a "quickie" and they're left with a mess. Any tankmates whom tries comming near their "nest" were angrily chased off. (oh, the small black striped fish with pinkish belly is the wife, while the bigger white one is the husband. )

I'm not planning to keep the eggs as I'm going out of town soon. No choice got to "jail" the couple for their poor family planning, for their indecent making out in the "public" (center of my tank!), for the safety of my other fishes and of course to keep the cleaniness of my water. So, after 5 minutes of chasing...



They're jailed for half a day! and in the meantime...



Buffet time! Why waste the eggs? They're full of nutrients and proteins! Great for little growing fishes! Don't worry guys, those eggs had not started wriggling yet, which means, the eggs are still lifeless.
