Have you checked the cave for eggs? He's probably in there fanning fresh water over them if so.

She lent me a cave for the peacock gudgeons I got from her but the male virtually NEVER leaves the cave. So far I've not seen fry moving out....but he seems to want to stay in there ALL the time. I have to put food right over the cave to entice him out to eat. The female moves all over the tank (10 gallon densely planted) and periodically visits the male for a several hours INSIDE the cave (weak grin).
