About LinkBacksI came home today to my Surinamensis being skittish as they have been recently. To my surprise I see them rubbing their bodies across a log. Take a closer look and they have eggsThey are laying at the moment and taking it into their mouths...wonder how successful this will be
Will update after my parents leave the kitchen (where the tanks are) and stop startling them.

Er, yeah, Thanks alot Graeme! You seem quite experienced with the breeding of Geos. Anybody have any tips/pointers? Unfortunatly Im leaving for a 4 day trip after tommorow so wont be able to watch over these guys, hopefully the parents will take good care of them. Once they get free swimming and a decent size Ill move them to my growout tank with a divider between them and the current inhabitatsLast edited by Momobobo; 04-27-2011 at 12:46 AM.
