last 2 to 3 days noticed my year old pair spawned!
Both look normal & male is tending to eggs attached to rock.
Seems to be caring for them well.
Problem: Female looks normal as well on body. No signs of desease or anything bad on her visually. BUT- she just sits on the bottom 6-8 inches away from him and has rapid gill function. Will swim up sometimes if you get her attention with a finger. But otherwise just chooses to stay on bottom "breathing" heavily.
Male is fine. All other fish in tank are fine. Water parameters are normal.
What could be wrong with her?? Is this just some strange "long recovery" from spawning?? She's been doing this for the last 2-3 days. Since I noticed her male tending eggs & that they had spawned.
Does not seem normal to me... But what do I know.
My tank is doing very well. But I'm still a newbie.
Any suggestions I would greatly appreciate.
Any ideas what might be wrong with her??
Thanks in advance for any imput.
