Re: [GSAS-Member] Dave Sanford's caves



Lift the cave out and look inside if there are eggs.

The thing is that he almost NEVER comes out. You suggested that I remove
him after he left the cave post-spawning....he may stick his head out and
snatch food, but I've never ever seen him swimming around the tank. He's
just always in that cave. The female, on the other hand, spends most of
her time outside. Just not sure what the deal is. I've watched and
watched. The cave is HIS place (sigh).
