1. You cannot keep a male and female together - period. That is true for all Odontodactylus. I have had "pairs" appear stable for a few weeks, but one always ends up dead.

I have a male/female pair of O. havanensis that have been kept with each other for over a year with no problems. They're in a 40 gallon All-Glass "breeder" tank, and have burrows on opposite sides of the tank. They'll occasionally share the left burrow together, but then go back to doing what they normally do, which is peek out and watch for krill.

I've caught them breeding before, but so far I haven't found any babies running around the tank yet.
