Nothing yet....they are still cleaning, just waiting for eggs to appear! LOL

You can also tell by looking at the female "tube" it should be bigger/longer then usual.

I have been looking for the "tube".....tonight it is visible!! It must be getting close! im excited! do they usually spawn in the am?

 

[animalzrok2]

wait im confused... i was told gbr's couldn't live in a ten... or at least its not recommended.

 

[Cobaltskyy]

True but I have them alone with plenty of cover and cave...plus 40-50% pwc's 2xs a week! They must be happy if they are ready to spawn.

 

[animalzrok2]

[Cobaltskyy]

thanks! they aren't really as hard as people say! Just make sure you have an "old" tank-one that has been running for quite some time.
