Hi,

Im not sure if anyone here knows about breeding dp's, but im gonna ask anyway.

My female has gone speckly and is laying at the bottom of my tank near the plants.(Most likely hiding from my male, who always chases her and attacks ) I heard females turn speckly when they are courting, but do they also do it when they feel threatend?

Oh yah, if they do spawn, will my ghost shrimp eat the eggs?

Any help is apperciated,

woa,

Now my males spots have combined into a line that runs down his tail, isnt that another sign of courting.

I havent seen them kissing or nuzzling, and my female is laying on the gravel next to a clump of java moss. Is that normal?

Just wanted to update you guys.
 
Sounds more like improper conditions for spawning, the male seems to want to spawn and she's not having anything of it. I would remove her until you've given them proper conditions or he will eventually end up killing her..

try going to www.dwarfpuffers.com for more info
 
i am a member of dwarfpuffers.com, and everything is fine according to the site. I guess the female just isnt ready.
