Hey guys,
I bought a proven trio of leucomelas a couple of weeks ago and they have been settling in nicely. Today I saw the female going back and forth between the two males and rubbing their backs. I left them alone for a while and went to check on them later with the camcorder. One of the males was up on the piece of wood in the tank by itself and the female and other male were under the piece of wood. After a few minutes the male started heading for the cocohut with the petri dish under it with the female behind him rubbing his back all the way. I thought I recorded it but I must have pushed the photo button instead of the video button.
Anyway, I am wondering if it is a pretty good bet that they are going to lay eggs in there and how long it normally takes them? Also, is there a good guide to breeding them and raising the tadpoles somewhere? There is a lot of breeding info on this site but I can't find a real all in one thread or guide anywhere. I think I basically know what to do but just want to make sure.
Thanks,
Michael
