Hi Elaine, i had a female exactly doing the same in my large males cave and he just wouldn't let her in.Anyway about 2 months later she was in with him for about 5 days and spawned.A month later she was spawning again.So patience is the key , signs are good. Al.

Hi, just an update. The female remained in the cave for approx 6 nights and whilst in there , swapped into various positions.In the end she was tucked up right in the back of the cave and could not be seen.
But the good news is , the male is certainly on eggs.
Fingers crossed Al

Spawning behaviour

Hi ,can anybody tell me when a male traps a female should the fish be lying opposite. e.g Male with his tale sticking slightly out of the opening of his cave ,with the females tail at the back of the cave and head facing towards the opening. Hope this makes sense.
Thanks Al

Hi Tracey, great to see those pics of your females and maybe give people some hope that they actually have Hairy females and not males.I have a fish just like your large female, a large fish that i was sure was a female, but recently she has started turning a little hairy so not so sure now.
Thanks Al
