I have a pair of L333 that i got a while ago.
When they were delivered the female was pretty rotund, infact, looked on the verge of being bloated.
The pair settled well and the female was eating well, so i crossed my fingers everything would be alright.
And suprisingly the pair bred within a couple of weeks of getting them, and the female lost her really rotund shape, and has never got as big since then.
I have heard of the term eggbound, but don't know what it is, dos anybody know what eggbound is or even if it is a true saying ?
Recently i seperated the pair as they were breeding me out of tanks.
Dos a female stop producing eggs now that they is no male in her tank, i am just concerned that she will keep producing eggs and get quite big again, or maybe she is just a greedy plec ?
The pair have large broods and i can not keep them together all the time, my other hypancistrus have much smaller broods and are not as regular as this pair are.
Could the female get eggbound, or is she just a greedy plec ?
