I have been watching my BN courting this afternoon. The girl is super fat and even her vent was a bit yellow and bulged so I figured she was ready to pop. Anyway tonight my wife was watching them and the girl went into the cave after a minute my wife called me over to see this strange phenomena, like mist coming out of the cave. I guess it was probably sperm exiting the cave. Quite a lot actually it went on for a minute or so. After a couple more minutes the girl came out. Now the boy is inside the cave and it is positioned in such a way that I can't see in. The girl still looks fat so I don't know if there are eggs in there or not. I will soon see.

Yes there are eggs but I am not sure if they are good. One cloudy one just rolled out which is not a positive sign. BTW it is this boys fist spawn.

I have heard that the male will discard any non-viable eggs... so maybe that's what he's doing :unsure2:

I believe that is the case but also in my experience and from what I have heard a first time dad often fails to keep the eggs in the cave.

:clap Congratulation's dylema :clap
Lets wait and see how they go....is he fanning the eggs?
There are losses from beginning to fry, hence the fact of high egg number.
Even when the fry reach a certain age there will be losses.


Sorry about the late reply... :oops

keep us posted please.. :thumb
