Hi Guys
my panduro pair appear to have spawned and am wondering how long the eggs will become free swimming fry.
the female started to guard her little pot about 5 days ago and keeps in that area mostly. she darts out to check the situation and chases the 3 tetras to the other end of the 2 ft tank and heads back to her pot. the male swims around but rarely swims close to the pot. he occasionally chases the tetras as well. the tetras now pretty much stay in the far corner.
in the past my females have only kept to their pots for 2 days and i assume she would eat the eggs or they went off. this time she seems to be on constant vigil.
sad news is that my other panduro has been widowed. her mate died after black worm feeding. i seem to get random fish deaths from black worms so may avoid this altogether from now on.
