Female would approach and quiver on one side of the male, then move towards the other side and quiver again. Male would stretch his buccal cavity occasionally.

Spawning Behavior:

Did not observe the actual spawn as the pair was very timid.

Male is refusing food and "chewing" the eggs. Female has been eating as normal. Was a bit more aggressive.
