Spawn Details
|
|
Pre-Spawn Behavior: |
Female stays hunkered down under rocks, only coming out to grab food and a quick retreat. Male's do the same thing just tend to linger a bit longer, a bit bolder in my opinion.
|
|
Spawning Behavior:
|
Occurred at night, so not witnessed.
|
|
Post Spawn Behavior:
|
Female stays hunkered down under rocks, only coming out to grab food and a quick retreat. Male's do the same thing just tend to linger a bit longer, a bit bolder in my opinion.
As she nears release date the females always tend to take on a more 'frantic' bold swimming pattern. Boldly swimming and climbing walls and rocks in wide open.
