Today the P. pulcher brought their babies out of their cave!
I can't believe I have babies so soon! The parents are juveniles I got from pbmax on 11/21. They paired up quickly and decided on a cave in a piece of wood that was guarded by a big piece of java fern with lots of roots. Since 11/22, they've been guarding that cave, and mom disappeared inside the cave around the middle of last week, coming out only occasionally to eat. Then this morning, when I turned the lights on ...
I love watching them guarding the fry, and watching the fry puff up in a little cloud around them, or picking for food on the bits of java fern. I'm glad to see the female out and eating again - she was very hungry this morning.
