This is a good sign that she is comfortable. The fish spawned in a Fifty five gallon tank fill with other fishes from lake Tanganyika. One side of the tank was scattered with about a dozen or so three to four inch flower pots. Some standing on end whereas others would be on there sides. You can tell spawning occurred when the female disappears for a few days in the pots.
Eggs are white in color.
This fish is a strange fish. Some people can breed them without trying whereas others can not if their life depended on it. I think the main secret in breeding this fish is providing ample hiding space. Back then I used the old Epsom salt, mortons salt substitute, and baking soda. One tablespoon of Epsom, one half teaspoon of salt substitute, and half teaspoon of baking soda per gallon.
