Posted	severum's have laid eggs
04-06-2007 18:27 by fosterjem	hi, i was hoping someone may be able to give me some advise, i was having a problem with agression between the fish in my tank so we found new homes for quite a few of fish & they are all really happy know, so much so that my two severums have laid eggs on the filter in the tank, my first question is this a safe place for the eggs? they seem to be protecting the eggs quite well, but i was wondering if anyone knew how to but a divide in the tank to keep the eggs safe, the tank aprox 1.5m long they share it with a jack demsey, a nircarigas(spelling?), a firemouth, sleeper gopy, a jewel, sucking loach and a plec, what percent of the tank do the sevrums need, so the other fish also happy. thankx jem

05-06-2007 16:22 by fosterjem	there are already pieces of slate in the tank along with bogwood and rocks, i don't have a seperate tank to put the severums in this is why i was asking if anyone knew how to put a divide or seperator in my exsisting tank.

05-06-2007 17:41 by fosterjem	i will have a look thanks
