I've been gone the last two weeks leaving my dad in charge of the tanks and when I got home yesterday I noticed this one electric yellow in a cave. I tried getting some good shots of her. Does it look like she's holding? She doesn't open her mouth and my dad says she hasn't been eating the last week and a half..

I have no choice but to leave her in the main tank because my 20gal is currently homing 2 M. greshakei, 2 M. lombardoi but I am hoping to sell those to the store for some credit..
My main is occupied by other labs so do you think that will be a problem? There's only 6 others ( im getting 6-8 more unsexed and selling the extra males) in the 55.

Just watch that she isn't harassed, other than that, you'll probably not get many (if any of the fry) to survive to adulthood. You could use a floating breeding box to separate her and then get your 20 cleaned out for the fry in the time you have.

I just sold my 4 extra fish and now my 20gal is up and running, free of fish. Should I move her there tonight?

if it's cycled there shouldn't be problem.

This morning my dad and I put her in the 20gal. Hopefully within the next week or so I'll be seeing some fry ;D
