Does anyone happen to have experience dealing with H. Barbouri breeding/reproduction? My male Barbouri has been unusually sulky over the past week. He's always been more sedate than the female but he's taking it to a new level, e.g. hiding in the shadows, etc. He's eating like a champ and I don't see any signs of pain or illness. Also, I could swear his pouch is definitely protruding more than usual, and this is true all the time, not just in the morning when he's always puffed up his pouch while he chases the female around. My specific questions are as follows:
- In yall's experience, how often do Barbouri give birth each year? I've heard it's perhaps seasonal. I want to be able to have a little bit of warning before he gives birth. (Get a food culture going, prep a baby tank, etc). I also don't want to miss one pregnancy-opportunity if he's only going to give birth like twice a year.
- Does anyone have any pictures of pregnant Barbouri?
- Any tips/advice on preparing?
Thanks,
Lee
(hopefully Rayjay might have some species-specific wisdom)
