this morning before going to work i did a cool 25% water change on my L262 tank and left the heater off, turned lights out and went on to work, theres been a bit of action in the tank lately so im trying to get them spawning again.

Just got back now and as usual first thing i do is check all my tanks, got to the L262 tank which holds 1 male and 3 females and i started to panic as i could only see 1 female out and about and the male in his cave as usual, so i checked again and again and still could only see the 2 so i got my light and peeked in the males cave to see him vibrating like mad, looked around the tank again and could still only see the 1 female :huh:. got the light again and had a propper look in the males cave to find he has 2 females trapped :eek:hmy:

has anyone ever had similar with hypans before?
