i have a male and female thats has been together for 8 to 10 months
they always stay in the same log together till yesterday i noticed she is staying inside and he is staying outside the log??
and i also notice the female has changed color to a dark purple-black.

any ideas?
could they be spawning?


he will also guard her if anyone but me goes up to the tank?

Defintly sounds like spawning to me.

She is probly preparing the log so she can lay eggs, and the male sounds like he is keeping guard!

bryant

Do you have have plan for what to do when the fish are here?

bryant

bryant

yes you were right.
ton of eggs lining the log.

bryant

as you can see she lined the inside with them.
pretty cool.

bryant
