Hello again,
I just wanted to tell how it goes on: Since three or four days the female is wandering relaxed through the tank, no panicky flight anymore.
The male now is less to be seen, I am not quite sure whether it found a natural cave in the big piece of mangrove wood. The artificial caves (2 bamboo canes and a small clay pot) stay unnoticed.
Still, no sexy eyes, but can we call it a soft encounter?
In my opinion, the female shows a more rounded belly than before. And the caudal fin of the male is beginning to show colours as are right and proper. Sorry for the bad quality of the photo – I show it just by means of evidence …
