Jadenlea Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Seriously. Ive watched them tried to breed now so many times and it always takes them hours to find the female. Tonight I thought Id help out. I caught the female and put her in a breeder box and picked my 3 favorite TB males (from shrimpscales) then watched for an hour. They still couldnt find/catch her!!! I gave it a few hours and had to put them back in the tank. I was afraid the breeder box water would get to cold with no heater in this NH weather. I wasn't willing to risk my very favorite RW male.

eggznfinz Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 I watched a male slam into a female. He hit her so hard I thought she was dead. She didn't move for a few minutes but then swam off. Is it possible that they don't start off dumb? Maybe they are just suffering from CTE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
