Question About Trapping
Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 1:28 pm
Hi All,
So my fish seem to be trying to spawn for the first time, but I have a question about it. I have read on here that the female can stay trapped for days. What I've noticed in my tank is that she will be trapped all day and at night time, both of them leave the cave. In the morning, she is trapped again for the entire day. This has gone on for at least 3 days. What that means is that if I hadn't checked the cave late at night, I would have thought that she was trapped for 3 days now. Sooooo, when we talk about her being trapped for x number of days, would that include them taking a break at night? Has anyone actually verified that they NEVER leave the cave for that period of time? Any responses would be appreciated.
