Pre-Spawn Behavior: |
Although they spend most of their time in very close proximity to each other the two or three days before spawning they seemed to be hanging out on the opposite sides of the tank from each other. What I believed to be the female was avoiding the male. I think this was due to the fact that the male kept sniffing around her belly thus aggravating her. They also exhibited a shaking behavior beside each other. One would get beside the other and do a shake/convulsion.
