I'm planning on housing the pairs in ten gallon aquareums with a partition in the middle.
Ok.
Should I make the partition opaque or use plexiglass so they can see each other? Or does it matter?
How long should I let them aclimate before introducing the male to the female?
I Know I should feed the female up Real good before hand but what about the male?
Should he be given a meal before mating? I don't plan on starving him but don't want to slow him with too full a belly.
If that makes sense.
I know it's prolly an unfounded fear.
But I figured I'd ask just in case.
Will molting effect the females pregnancy if she does become gravid?
And about how long is gestation before the sacks get spun?
Perty much asking for any and all information from your experienced breeders.
What you've found that works, and things to avoid.
Thanks in advance.
