    Had a nice surprise today. Leleupi's have bred in my other Tang community tank. Mom is looking after the fry which are already free swimming. Dad's defending the terrotors. Sharing the tank with Occy pair, Daffodil pair and 5 young trets.

    Congrats on the fry!

    PS. Watch out keeping Leleupi and Trets with shell dwellers.
    Leleupi can work where the shellies are dominant but Trets I think get too large and aggressive to be considered.

    Thanks guys
    There's more fry than I thought. The spawning site is on the edge of the daffodil pairs territory and this seems to help with the protection of the fry as the daffodils can't seem to stand the trets and keeps them at a safe distance.
