canucklehead Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 I have an 8-9" male umbee that has been geting very friendly with one of Rudy's females that he leant me. The female has taken on the lemon yellow spawning colours and spends all her time on the males side (incomplete divider). Im hoping for eggs this week, allthough they are still quite small. The aggression towards anything outside the tank is unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 canucklehead_ how about an update on the courtship.. Smokey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead Posted October 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 I got eggs on Saturday night. The female is constantly fanning them, very diligent. The male spends his time attacking the glass. Hopefully they hatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 If the male is being that protective / have you tried coverg the tank sides with a dark cloth. This has worked for me. just a suggestion. Smokey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead Posted October 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Well I think I have a whopping total of 2 free swimming fry. Not surprising given that the female is just barely breeding size. I'm going to put her in a different tank to let her pack on some size.
