Hey everyone.
I have two groups of 1.2 ASF in a ten gallon tank with a big piles of babies still nursing, there are 2 different aged litters in the pile. I was wondering how I clean the setup. I have a clean tank ready to go so I could just transfer the adults, but I'm not sure if there is anything I should know about the babies. How do I put them in the fresh setup? Will the mothers dig out new nests for them and take them back even after the move? I just see the clean setup as being a bit traumatic and they may not know what to do.
Thanks
Sam
Edit: I forgot to mention. Both of my groups "lost" their first litter or babies. They were born, the mothers made nests, and then the babies just started to get scattered all over the tank, die, and disappear. This time around they are doing a great job however. Is that a common occurance? I didnt bother them or change anything, and it happened to both groups.
