got an escapee

Subject: got an escapee Sun Sep 16, 2012 10:46 pm

My male has been hiding out in his pot and I thought he had be busy with some eggs as one of the females was much smaller in girth than she had been. I was right, have an escaped little guy or gal hanging on the back wall of the tank. The escapee has the hint of an egg sac left so will hopefully know in a week or so how large the group is. The 2nd female of the trio has been attempting to enter the males home but he hasn't let her in, looks like she has a load to drop off also.

Was going to post the parameters and set up in pics but can't add photos due to the gallery being full.

Tank parameters @ time of spawn
temp: 76 degrees F/24-25 degrees C
PH: 7.6 (we have very hard and high ph water here)
ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitrites: 0 ppm
Cave: terra cotta pots cut in 1/2 and siliconed to a piece of acrylic (i'm sure you all know the setup i'm describing)
Feeding regiment: since it's harvest time for the last couple months and my mom has been bringing all kinds of zuchinni as she has a TON of it to get rid of and cucumbers from my own garden the little buggers have been getting a bit of everything to eat.
