Matthew Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 She is hopefully "Gravid" with lots of eggs. More than likely this is the cause, keep an eye out in a cave or some hidey hole nearby and you will hopefully have a male fanning vigourously really soon. cya Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobcas Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Sorry to hear of your loss. Perhaps she was eggbound......if this is possible for a bristlenose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the loss......you were probably all correct as - yes it is possible for any egg layer to become 'egg bound' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easy does it Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Good work on the little ones Once they start, they never stop tho I've never had the parents eating the kittens, and I've found it best to let them grow out a little bit in their 'tank-of-birth'. Moving them can be a bit of a hassle, and potential for injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
