Some photos:

Dad watching over the fry. He captures strays and keeps the tetras away.

Some of the fry out to play/eat? The hole in the gravel is one of several the parents dug to pen them in.

Mom in her pot, with some fry. She brings them into the pot every night, one by one or in twos, in her mouth!

Question: the fry seem to be eating from the gravel. I have seen no evidence of them feeding from secretions produced by the parents. Is this normal?
