    i had plenty all used as feeders lol :confused: :confused: but they lay eggs on ussually anywere most likely in the cave do you have any other fishes with them? they will becoe aggresive. best to take gravel out of the cup so frys wont get lost in it but male might do that. new parents might eat the first spawn

    Extended tubes are not an indication of a spawn or even that they are ready to. Juvenile fish can extend their tubes... that means nothing... You also need to know the sex by seeing the tubes... the size differences can be different that what you think because of care when raised, in the store and by you....
