I DONT KNOW THAT ITS JUST THE FISH MIXTER OR WHAT, I PUT MY DELTATAIL MALE IN A TEN GALLON PLANTED WITH A NICE CROWTAIL FEMALE, THEY EMBRACED ONCE BUT DIDNT SEE ANY EGGS, I DONT THINK. NOW HE IS GUARDING THE NEST LIKE CRAZY AND WILL NOT LET THE FEMALE NEAR IT. SHE IS STILL HUGE AND I NOTICED SHE WAS GOING TO THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK EXCRETING HER OWN EGGS AND EATING THEM. THIS IS A MYSTERY TO ME AND I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR ABOUT 10 OR SO YEARS. I FINALLY PULLED HER OUT AND PUT HER BACK IN HER HOME AND HES STILL PROTECTING THE NEST.
