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.

Well he's just a cheeky little devil isn't he?!? Though... to your advantage eh? Congrats on the spawn!!!

Thanks. How are those 6 fries doing? Getting any bigger? probably not that fast.

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

Very nice to hear that they are growing. Keep up with your good job!

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