is his cave nearby? The males will try and entice/push a female into his cave if she's ready to drop eggs.

Then once she lays will push her out and he will then fertilise the eggs and protect the cave until he feels they are big enough and then he'll push them out

I have put in four caves,but his cave was at the other end of the tank.Can you tell when the female is ready? Does she get fat with eggs or anything?

hard to tell about the plump eggs look as plecs look plump most times  ;D

Have never been able to tell when ours were ready to go as they are in my sons bedroom and I don't look in every day

He looked excited enough to me  ;)
Lovely fish. I'm still waiting to get one.
I am in my own little world, but it's okay, they know me here.
