??? Motoro Mom Leaning on Glass After Birth

[litigator666]

My motoro mom gave birth to three pups a few weeks ago. I've just noticed that he is leaning on the side of the glass most of the time. She was doing this a few days before giving birth, but she's still continuing it now. Dad seems to have tagged her already since she had some bite marks and the male was wild chasing her after she gave birth. She's still swims flat on the sand, but about 80% of the time leaning. she seems to be ignoring food as well.

Is there any thing I need to do after birth? Water changed had been routinary at 30% twice a week. This is her first litter and my first breeding attempt.

All sounds normal but u may want to seperate the male if she dosnt start eating soon

split up the male and female would help..ive seen alot do this with the pair after birth to give her some heal time before another mating

Sounds like she is trying to avoid the male. I would put in a divider till she starts eating well.

I'd be most concerned about her not eating. She's probably stressed from the birthing. I agree to separate them for now.

i have separated them now. she seems to be back on the tank floor after doing it. I'll will observe her for a few weeks and hopefully will be back to normal. appreciate all the inputs.
