Mike,

Where did you get that breeding pot from. How do the fish like it?

Hi Steve
One of the members here got it for me from Sydney and posted them over, they work really well but I do offer variety. from memory they were about $5 each.
I havent found anywhere in Perth that sells them for so cheap.

Steve, if you are from Sydney, you can buy the pots from Ray Aquarium, Potts Point, in a variety of styles for $5 each. The one that Mike has is exactly the same as what I have, and probably from the same source. My cac has spawned in it twice.

Just thought I'd rehash this thread Mike and find out how they are doing??
I've just had my panduro spawn after a long time without anything from any of my fish. I've almost forgotten what it looks like! I have them in a small tank with a cave like yours and also an Exo-terra cave like Wicked. They choose the Exo every time which is good because I can take the side off and see how every thing is going.

Both spawns are doing well...about 50 I suppose from each one....Ive left them with the parents at the moment as I dont have tank space to move them to just yet.

They are some very nice fish there, well done. Cant wait too see the fry develop.

...about 50 I suppose from each one

I've had a few little peeks at the egg situation and mine is ever decreasing. When I first looked there was probably about 25-30 but I think she has been a little spooked by the big guy that takes the wall off her cave! From last count she is down to about 10. Photos to come

Well I can safely say that they are all gone now. I think about 2-3 made it as wrigglers but I think they got snapped up when I took a peek in the cave yesterday. I'm not too fussed about losing them. It's her first time that I know of so not too bad for an L plate spawn.
Here's some pics from the other day
