| Behaviour | They seem to prefer to spawn early am and in a larger group with several of the males taking part in the chase and T formations. Eggs are deposited deep inside spawning mops and fry seem to do ok with adult group but I have noted that when I added a few C. Matae to tank the Matae would egg the Panda eggs as fast as they laid them. | |||
