| I have had males with 4 lots of babies in a row. after that I took the male out for some R & R
if you are really worried then once the eggs hatch you can remove him to a spare tank or fry saver and he will be fine. _________________ Doug's Bristlenose eBook - The number one source of Bristlenose information and the most detailed breeding guide avaliable
