Spawn Details

|
Pre-Spawn Behavior: |
didn't notice. I didn't expect them to spawn. They were in quarantine after delivery to my home.
|
|
Spawning Behavior:
|
In another pair, formed later, I noticed that they will rest on the side of the tank close to one anther, T shaped, often touching. Sometimes shaking tails in this close proximity. This pair also spawned a couple of times before one of them jumped...
