I just wanna everyone know that my male just successfully held his 9th spawn.
He trapped a female 10 days ago. The female spent only one night with him and laid about 10 eggs. I took a glance last time and found some swigglers at the end of the cave.
I know some males are picky to mate with females and this little monster seems to accept any female who's ready to lay eggs. He has spawned with 5 different females so far.

They seem to be eating good! I think have grown a little, and the little ones I was worried about are fine.

Great news on the spawn, good to know he isn't too choosy about females
