New Festae pair

[Freshwaterpredators]

Well I finally got my festae to pair up These are WC both 6.5" the female is a lil fatter. I have a trap door built in divider since both can fit thru same size hole and i just drop it from time to time for suprivised visits but everything is lookin good for these two. they have both shown beautiful colors and they come and go. Im hoping they will succesfully breed for me.

Thank you everyone I cut a square out of same material as divider just larger than the hole. then tied fishing line too it and weaved it thru top a littl to hold resistance an then up thru lid which holds it up w/tension. it works really good. when i get a few minutes or so each day i open the door and let them hang out and when she starts acting like she wants safety or i have to go i raise door as soon as she's on her side.

thankyou VRWC. it took me 9 festae grow outs and grow out time to finally establish them. They arnt completely bonded yet, but that will be soon enough. they show more than enough interest but male can be a lil aggressive.
