Hi Carlos, You exactly describe what I saw a bit more then a week ago. My female is about the same size as yours and she behaves exactly the same way. A few days later I had a nice cave full of eggs. The rest of the story you know from my previous mail to the list. So I think like Ken that you will have eggs within a few days. And Ken don't you know how long it takes before a female is ready to spawn again? raf ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@listbox.com.
