So my male and female curvicep (one I got Thursday last week and another sunday from differ lfs) have been chasing each other around and I thought was one being territorial but yesterday their chasing around changed and thought they were just getting used to each other. I was about to post up a new topic today asking what they were up to and some other stuff.
Then I noticed that the female was getting very dark and the male not so much and just thought maybe shes ready but they both were being territorial around one of the caves I have and usually the male doesn't chase after other fish let alone near the mid warea and today I noticed he was.
About an hour ago I noticed the female wad sitting on top of the cave area and I happen to look behind on the back of it and there are heaps of eggs on the back of It They must have either done it while I was at work or while I was doing other stuff this afternoon....
so I only have the one tank so should I be alright leaving them there? I do have panda corys but atm the female shoes anything beside the male away!
ohhhh and btw I am new (very) to keeping fish so this has all come at once....
photos uploaded:
hopefully the photos aren't to bad to see... but the eggs are there
