2 lots in same cave

is it normal to have 2 batches in same cave ?. 1st lot are about 9 days old and are wrigglers and then i noticed another clump of eggs in same cave yesterday.i have one male bn and two females in breeding tank.

Yep it's perfectly normal. The males will let girls in any chance he can get. Or the girls force they're way in lol

Yep, I had to separate my breeding trio in order to stop the insanity...

females will choose to breed with a male with eggs or fry over one without as they have demonstrated their skills.

i was thinking about have two females and a male in a ten gallon is tht to small?

I am considering the same thing ('cept 1m, 1f) and using my 3ft tanks (29, 33gallon) for grow out tanks.
Currently I have about 100 fry in my 33 and assorted plecos and catfish in my 29 while the 10 sits empty.(couple fry to maintain cycle)
Not too sure if my Bn are mature enough to breed yet(I have a newly aquired lf albino male and sf albino female), but I think they will be soon (month or so).
I think with regular water changes to trigger spawn and keep the water healthy it will work for me as long as the fry are removed quickly and transferred to the bigger tanks.
Any advice/input would be greatly welcomed

Absolutely normal, so nothing to worry about.
From the males point of view, it is even energy saving.

cheers for replys..theyre only in a small 2ft x 1ft tank at minute till more are set up,they are in ph 6.5-7..they get daily water changes about 10% but usually just to clear poop away lol.water is a mix of ro water and waste water from ro unit at 4-1 % mixed in 25 litre barrel.theyre fed on pellets,flake,cucumber,frozen bloodworm,dafnia etc.temp is 81.5f.this is 1st time ive bred bns so well chuffed with double spawn.

My albino shortfin male and common longfin female just had at lest about 30 babies in a 2ft x 1ft tank with a lot of guppies and 4 big peppers. Every one is fine and happy in there.
