IOU1 Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 All I know is if they spend alot of time 'together' and seperated from the rest of the group, even chasing them off. After egg laying, the next few days the pair will stay and fan the eggs to keep fungus off etc... I don't think 'kissing' is a sure sign :lol: I don't know if they loose their mucus, funny that one still has it :-? Are these 'unknown' babies in groups around these two? Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 The sure sign is a "shimmy" shake they do at each other, they wiggle their bodies in a quick shimmering fashion. They will also do the crescent spar, where they face each other, and start at the bottom then move upwards in an arc until they pass each other at the top of the arc then continue in a downwards slope. Roughly like this: / -><- \ Goodluck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
