C.Weitzmani spawning log

[BigBen]

My Weitzmani have been forming the "T" position this morning, but no eggs. The female now looks to be struggling with a swollen belly, redness and heavy breathing. I havent seen this before so any ideas? pH 6.7 GH&kh 3 Ammonia/ nitrite 0 and nitrate about 10 (maybe less).

The boys seem to be doing their job, female seems to be struggling.

When my female Corys are about to lay, they are most often dashing around.

It's the redness I'm most concerned about. There is plenty of dashing around as expected. She looks full and there has been a few T's, but no eggs.

That’s worrying I’ve just found two more eggs and saved them. Now the female looks massive “back” fins clamped like she’s got an egg in there or something else, males still chasing her around. Look at her tummy?? Struggling to get all eggs out?

[BigBen]

She is full! You'll probably find the glass plastered on them in a couple days.

My female looks fine now, weirdo's. She's definitely full.

My biggest concern is I only have the one female.

So you’ve got at least 3 males chasing her around the tank? No wonder she’s worn out!

I have four males with her but only two seem interested.

I can't remember why they get the blood spots, try Melafix to relieve any stress that may be causing it.
Maybe @DoubleDutch will pop on if he's feeling ok?
