I just bought Daniel's breeding pair and the female is inside an egg-crate cage so the male can fatten up after eating the last batch from going too hungry. I plan to keep her in there for a while and then release her to do her thing with her "man". They have an RSM130 all to themselves and the first batch of 8 are in a hang-on-outside breeder cage with bubble-powered flow through to refresh the water between feedings. They were getting 2 feedings a day but now they are getting 4-5 daily feedings. I swear they've grown since I got them a few days ago. Felicia loves watching and feeding them newly hatched baby brine shrimp. Hoping to switch them over to cyclopeeze soon. Good luck with yours. And I would recommend going with what others have posted about separating the male once in a while to recover and fatten up.
