| Behaviour | 4/21/14 - 4+ Days of Trapping before Eggs were laid, 2nd trap witnessed Trapping occurred the day of 1st big spring rainstorm. 2/27/15 - was gone 36 hours, came back to Male sitting in cave directly under the powerhead. Cave is 90degrees from the front and could barley make out him fanning. He's still in there 2 days later, so I'm guessing there's eggs. Will update later. Added a slow drip RO water and will slowly add more and remove old water. Was planning on doing a filter clean, but that'll have to wait.
