For the past 4 days, the female has pretty much stayed in the coconut shell she shares with the male, he comes out to eat and seems to be protector, chasing off the three blue rams (2 females and one male) that also share this tank, even though they basically keep to the opposite side.
The female did come out this morning to swim around the tank, picking at the subtrate as she swam around and then she darted right back to the shell. Could there be eggs in this shell? The female usually doesn't stay in the shell as she has been for the past few days. If there are eggs, is there a good chance that I will see fry in a few days or will they eat their eggs like my Rams usually do?
I just took a look and the male is outside the shell now, staying by the side of it, as if he's guarding.
What can I expect if there are eggs and they end up producing fry?
