Eggs laid in fluviatilis tank.
Finally, after all the speculation of whether these were males, females etc. I got a batch of eggs laid in my fluviatilis tank. Unfortunately the male swooped down in the tank... and of course gobbled all the eggs up. A friend of mine said i can expect the female to lay in another 20 days or so. Which i will be patiently waiting. Does anyone know of a successful breed of this species? because i would love some more insight if and when i get a successful spawn.

Re: Eggs laid in fluviatilis tank.
Think RTR was after something a little more specific! For instance, what is the SG?

Re: Eggs laid in fluviatilis tank.
Sorry for taking forever, school is still taking its toll on me. Well heres an update... My male was killed about 3 days ago by the female. I have no clue why it just decided to kill it but it may have been because of their spawning activity? Any ideas?
Re: Eggs laid in fluviatilis tank.
So sorry to hear that. I've heard of it happening with several other species as well
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

Yep, my female lorteti killed her mate, after spawning with him 3x.
