Spawn Details
|
|
Pre-Spawn Behavior: |
Prior to adding the fish to the same tank, both fish would float in the water in front of each other on either side of the glass. On adding them to the same tank, they took up residence in side by side pieces of cut pipe. The (I assume) female in a pipe with capped ends and the male in an open ended pipe.
