who digs the nest?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
In most cases ya, just watch and see whats happening.. Are there other fish in the tank? Are they being aggressive?
 
I would just watch them... When my JD pair spawned I knew it...
 
I have had jd's breed in the past. The behavior i have noticed is they wiil claim there territory and they stop feeding. Also the male was the one who cleared the site and was the look out so to speak. He was the one who would chase any fish away from the spawn site.
 
most of the time in my tanks the males have prepared the spawn sites but females can do it to.
