Re: Female AUS question

Hi Sherry,

        I don't have very much experience with australe, but in working with
other Aphyosemions, it strikes me that the female investigating the mop is a
good sign.  My fish do exactly that before eggs start showing up in the
mops.  As for changing the water, I think that depends on how they have
reacted to other water changes.  If they have been really skittish and shy
after previous changes, I think I would wait a couple of days.  If they have
generally accepted water changes without much distess in the past, I would
go right ahead.  Water changes often stimulate spawning.  I think it relates
to responding to rain in the wild.
