          tub it is!

          Went to go feed these boys today and seen some shakin and bakin.

          Nothing long....just for a few seconds. Could just be a male or female acting defensive, but I still hope something good will come soon.

            update:

            Just did a 80% water change with carbon bottle. Temp drop two degrees. took 1 hour to fill all the water back up.

            Male wants it bad! I can see him time and time again trying to get the female to come to his cave. He was shaking for her.

            She, however, only showed little interest. Went over to his cave. Look things over. Did the t-position once and she was done.

            I'm excited guys! Hopefully I just got to get this female conditioned up and the rest will take care of itself.

                when you say she did the "T" position just once...how many times will they go back and forth to have a full mating session?

                  I have seen the same female and male do that off and on for couple days.

                  It ALL depends on her and when she is ready to start dropping eggs.

                            Mang, Barry White done made it happen.

                            She's holding!

                            Hopefully, this is the real deal and she actually holds to term.

                            Pictures up in a few.

                              I'm have to post pictures tomorrow. Already at my girl's.

                              To strip or not to strip is the question.

                              How many days does she have to hold before I strip?

                                You have a tumbler correct ? You can strip within 7 days of her holding. Put them all in the tumblers and grow them out until they are about 2" in length and then return them back into the tank. You wanna make sure that they will survive.
