[ChrisT]

she dont look plump enough 4 me but looks about ready try feeding brime shrimp or blood worm 4 a few days then do a big water change i found that worked 4 me when i did community but i'm sure their r people here with better knowledge on them then me as like i said never realy kept them properly.

 

[az9]

i'll feed them blood worms when they start eating. they're very new and still adjusting

oh and do you know if they mate inside the cave or outside because they're spending a lot of time in the cave together and i didn't know if they are mating or if that's just part of their adjusting.

 

[ChrisT]
