Spawn Details
|
|
Pre-Spawn Behavior: |
Male darkens, rushes a female, displays, and possibly is trying to lure her back to the selected spawning site (a large tile resting on the back wall - I placed this tile there after seeing the male making "swooping passes" over the back wall of the tank in this general area).
|
|
Spawning Behavior:
|
Not sure as it's not been observed. It does appear that the male is spawning with both females.
|
|
Post Spawn Behavior:
|
Honestly, it does not look like the male provides much brood care.
