Hi...
I have what i think is a pair of these....they live in there own tank (shell, sand, rock, a few plants)... i wondered if anyone actually has any first hand experience
as i say im pretty sure i have a pair.... one looks slighter larger and is more 'active', the smaller one stays mostly around 'her' shell and appears a lot darker.... am i right in thinking the first is the male??
Also the 'female' appears to have gone missing!! i'm sure ive read somewhere that she will stay in her shell when she has eggs.... so this is a possibilty but at the moment im quite worried! the 'male' likes to 'rearrange the sand' so im paranoid he's blocked 'her' in her shell!!!
Anyway if anyone can give me any info on actual behaviour i should expect both normally and when spawning that would be great!
Many Thanks XX
