panduro breeding behaviour

[Incredible319]

hi all,

Recently i got myself a pair of panduro from a nice forum member here. Today, i noticed the female was all yellow (checked online and she is in breeding mode). Its a m/f in a 10 gallon tank.

i noticed that the female is digging a hole at some spot in the gravel. I presume it's to lay eggs?

Is there anything else I should do or not do? Like can I change the water anytime soon or its better not to cause any disturbance to her?

Should I feed her extra? I am currently feeding them carnivore pellets, tetra bits, frozen brine, freeze dried brine shrimp etc.

Thanks a lot.

hi bro, congratz for the spawn. You dont have to do anything extra, just wait for 7 or 8 days for the eggs to hatch.

hi bro,

thanks a lot..ok, i will just do the usual stuff..

i am kind of surprised she is spawning..i thought she was quite unhappy..guess i should not be fooled by looks : )

Wow, that's good new.

If the female is always close to her cave and aggressive, most likely she has already laid her eggs.

hi bro,

thanks..Unfortunately, i think nothing happened. the female is back to her previous colors and she does not seem to be guarding anything (in my opinion)..

i will keep an eye out but am not expecting much

cheers
