New behavior need some advice

[bairdimusprime]

Came home from work and found my female Picasso just staying in one spot. She's never acted like this in the two years I've had her. The male is nowhere near her which is odd cause they're usually inseparable

Any advice is appreciated

how long has she been that way?

 

[143MPCo]

no clutch of eggs on that rock that you can see?

 

[bairdimusprime]

just started today. the male is nowhere near her which is odd as well.. usually they're inseperable. haven't seen any eggs

Any new additions or major changes?

 

[143MPCo]

Are any other fish acting erratically?

 

[bairdimusprime]

no one is acting different but her. no new additions at all

She might have just been spooked by something, keep a close eye on her for the next 24hrs or so... hopefully it will pass... maybe others might have additional recommendations.

That is odd.It looks like it is trying to hide yet stay close to the anemone.Maybe the male was in breeding mode and she wasn't?

Thanks for the love everyone!

She was swimming around this morning but i was running late for work so i couldnt check for eggs.

I'll look when i go home for lunch

yeah it would be nice! my friend and i are considering raising picasso fry to start a small local business. if we're successful at breeding them i have a nice surprise for R2R

Just an FYI (you might already know this) the eggs will look yellowish on a new clutch that has just been laid.

That would be great news! Hopefully we have some positive news on this sub-forum :)

Have you noticed any "cleaning" behavior in that spot?

Older video, but you can see the male cleaning a spot,
