congratulations on your recent success - it was very pleasing read of your
enthusiasm. I am no where near as diligent as you in keeping watch of my
spawning bows. My preference is to keep my bows in completely separate, one
species only, tanks. And I keep closely related species as far apart as
possible, in case some one tries to jump tank.
