He managed to get to almost 4 days this time so he is improving but he just cant suss the parent care role out yet. I found what was left of the spawn underneath a leaf. Probably 30 eggs and I can see them wiggling inside.

The male still fanning away in his cave the bloody idiot

The only pic of the female i could get

The tank

The eggs now in a trap


I am pretty sure they will hatch tomorrow:D

Well the eggs have started hatching. Most of them look very lame so not sure if they are gonna make it but I dont normally see fry until they are a few days old and whizzing around on their space hopper:D

I don't know what you're complaining about. I can't even get my males out of their caves to remove fry. Pfft.

Thats how I know they are going to spawn. He only ever goes near the cave if he is due to spawn. Normally a couple of days after he has moved into the cave the female will start to dance around the cave. They follow day she will be trapped or would have spawned.
