I turned my heater up to 30 degrees as its currently sitting around 25/26 and Dosed my tank with ph neutralizer and some stressguard then POW action!
Saw a peppermints head sticking close to the outside of the cave and didnt check the sex, moments later female came out and stopped nearby. Male came out of the cave tail first spun around and went back in.

I thought interestinnnnng. Kept watching and female re entered cave momentarily for a couple of minutes and came back out. Male exited and then went back into the cave head first followed by the female and both have been in cave for last 5/10 minutes. I can see the females head near teh ientrance and she was like squirming at one stage but could have gotten out easily, perhaps pushing out eggs?

Needless to say i have my fingers crossed and watching anxiously

Well i was watching them for a while then unfortunately had to take my daughter to doctors for 3rd time today and ended up at the hospital and sadly got admitted :(,


Came home though and i think female is still in the cave but not turning light on to double check. As they say gotta take the good with the bad
