I just checked her pot to see if there are eggs.  Sure enough, there
are about fifty to seventy-five eggs (I didn't count them because I
don't want to upset the female too much).  The eggs are a creamy color -
kind of off-white.  They were laid around the opening in the top (drain
hole), so the male didn't go inside, though there is another entrance
that has been filled so that only the female can fit in.  I hope these
turn out, this is my first time with these Apistos.

Updates will be regular.
