Starting A new thread, I'll try to keep this updated as much as possible. I'll also be leaving a link to pictures and collection point from a previous thread. This Red Mammon female came from "Happy Farms".

I came home from a 14 hour shift and noticed the eggs. I'm not sure what time she laid them, but when I got home I moved the divider, hoping that the male would fertilize the eggs. The female refused to let him get close, and was actually taking scales from my male, which was a surprise considering this male has killed anything in a tank with him. I moved the pot onto the other side of the divider with the male overnight, in hopes that he'd be able to fertilize them, then put it back on the females side the following morning. The eggs were laid on 11/17/17 as of today 11/20/2017 the female is still guarding the eggs, I don't think they were fertilized
. I ordered a clear divider that should fit the tank perfectly, allowing me to put one of these clay plates underneath. We'll see what happens.
