Both of them have been great parents so far, with both taking it in turns to look after the eggs.
Her eggs laying tube was out by about 7mm just before she started laying and was out for about a week before it got to that stage.
The Female went into the hollow first and laid a row of eggs, then the male followed her in and she showed him where to aim. He than rubs his tube over the eggs and the process continued for about 7-8 hours.
10/09/09 - They both take it in turns to go into where the eggs are and fan the eggs with their fins, the female gently cleans them with her mouth.
