Question: Mom chasing Dad????

JD OSCAR · November 18th, 2008

I am getting very concerned. My Female and Male Convict were getting along fine. They had 3 batches of fry. The first 2 batches were small but this last batch was large. Up until yesterday they were both getting along fine guarding the fry. Now the female keeps chasing the male. He is staying in the far corners of the tank. Is this normal

(The tank is a 20g.)

I came home from work today to find my Male Convict floating. It happened so fast I was not expecting it. I was thinking all day at work I had better get my male out of the tank. The pair were getting along fine I do not know what happened. I thought Convicts mate for life. I am thinking I should take the female out before she eats her fry. Right now she is protecting them.
