Don't you just adore little snots?  You can't help but smile when you sit and watch them.

Bn fry are neat.........but the adults can put on a good show too

I've heard you talk about their breeding habits.  It's a hoot!  She goes into the cave to lay and he doesn't let her out until he's damn good and ready.  Isn't that the way it goes?  I would not make a good BN breeder.  I'd like to see some hairy nosed guy try to lock me in a cave with a bunch of eggs.

Those are the courting, preliminary moves....she's inspecting the cave..if/when it suits her, she'll give him the 'ok' look and then he'll lock her in for the duration.....then when he's finished with her, and the eggs.....out she goes....and he takes over...

All I know is, when they were done with all of these shenanigans, he was watching about 50 eggs.....

I'm going to have to breed them.  I want to see it for myself.  The foreplay kills.  Did you see how proud the male was of himself?  Twice he displayed in front of the camera.  I think that he was protecting his new family from the dangerous thing.

Thanks for great porn, Dennis.

I like it that she lays on the top of the cave.  Watch how he backs in and then flips so he's positioned on the top of the cave to fertilize the newly lain eggs.

Spawning fish never gets old, always something new to learn.

I saw him go in backwards twice.  I couldn't figure out why but knew that he had a reason.  Now I know.  I'm going to watch your video for a third time so I can catch what I missed the first two times.  That really is a great vid.

[Mugwump]

The 'snots' are quite active now....dancing around the cave......might see a 'Nemo' soon???...usually there's one brave soul that pops out for a looksie....

[Mugwump]

No sign yet of them making the move yet....perhaps a few micro worms will coax em out a bit....?? it's crowded in there...LOL
