My dominant pair are on their third batch. My other pair I think lost all of theirs. They aren't as aggressive about tending the babies as the first pair but it's their first time so maybe they will tend the next batch better. She is already excavating her pot again.

Leah, are you going to move the fry to a grow out tank before she has her next batch or just let them grow up in the 29 with the other fish? She will stop protecting them when she gets ready to do it again so if they aren't very big they may be in danger from some of the other fish.
