I have a trio of albino red lace snakeskins in a 5.5g tank together, pretty planted. One of the females is giving birth and the other female is eating the fry.
I put the one giving birth (1/2 done already, sadly) into one of those transport containers they hang on the side of the tank at the LFS to put your fish in, except I have it inside the tank. There's no air holes for water exchange.
I filled the top portion of it with a thick weed grass thing and the bottom portion has stem plants... There's a bit of room for her to swim in the bottom part.
IDK how long it'll take her to calm down or resume giving birth... There's one fry in the tank that is hiding really well, the rest darted straight into the substrate and were eaten by the mean female.
How long can I keep her in there? I would use breeder boxes but all of mine disappeared a while ago.
