Question for P.labiatus females.

[lerdchai]

If I'm surely my female sbsorbed spermatopore or surely my female has been gravid,is it possible to remove male from this breeding tank?
because I have had only 1 male + 2 females [very aggressive] and I need to put him in another breeding tank for breed with another female.

If the female is gravid it does not always mean she's gonna lay, but if you saw the spermatophore accepted, then you have to put (if you hadn't yet) a pot with a hole for the female to make a nest. If conditions are good, she should lay eggs inside and stay there guarding them until the eggs hatch. Male is expendable when female lays eggs, he can also pose a threat to the female.

 

[lerdchai]

If she will not lay her eggs,will she absorb her eggs back to her body and them get slim down ?

 

[Yahilles]

Probably, she could also lay and eat them.
