Seriously think the white plate is making them crazy :silly:
Lights on...gravel with eggs,lights out...gravel moved.Just started leaving tank light off with room lighting to see what's going on...they're a lot happier.

Update on eggs.

Oh Well...that's Oscar spawning.We'll see how the next one goes :fro:

Looks like soon...already scrubbing and locking.Figure about another 10 days,give or take.
Guess they could go again sooner,but wouldn't think she'd be in condition before then.
