Re: How Often??
That's interesting that you say that, because Mordecai has been sooo active, searching and searching the tank but also extremely "spazzy" (if that's a word!)-- he startles and runs at the slightest thing. Miriam, too, to a lesser extent-- she's not as active but is very spazzy too, jerking away and fleeing to a hide at the slightest disturbance. What's up with that? Spring have them all upset for some reason?
Curious and Reed are not acting off like this tho. Reed sleeps and Curious watches out the tank and approaches every movement, as always. |

Re: How Often??
If they are still 'at it', Joe, that would suggest to me there hasn't been a successful mating yet. My Checkereds were doing it for weeks this year! I would let them continue if they both seem happy enough to do so. Watch out for the female becoming stressed by the males constant attention though.

Re: How Often??
Thats why i was a little worried abut whether to move her, because some times i can see that she isnt interested and desperatly tries to get away. Other times she is fine though and lets him "ave a go". Ill keep an eye on them and see what happens. thanks for the advice
