Well, I guess I better prepare for h, e, ??Ovipositor. Note also the bit of a bulge in the belly (eggs). Very much in keeping with the behavior you're seeing.
Very cool, more fry! My GB used to dig deep pits in the gravel, but didn’t have a mate so it was all for naught.Well, the G.B. spawned in the last 24hrs. I didn't get to observe but the middle sized one is protecting the eggs. She doesn't seem worried by the SD as they swim into the nest area with out her spazzing. The smallest G.B. Is a different story.
