    My Caca triple red female are taking care of her fries now, the strange thing is that she laid eggs again. I have my male enclosed in a guppy tank just by the surface of the tank, she just have her eggs laid underneath the guppy tank. All those eggs are unfertilised, what a waste. I find this behaviour rather strange, do anyone of you guys came across this before?

    The female is so fertile that she kept on spawning. I wonder do females of other spieces behave the same way. I'm worried that she might abandon her fries since she had new batch of eggs (unfertilised), seems that shes still doing ok with them. Hmm...very very interesting...
