20190407_174838.jpg so yesterday I saw for the first time a spawning event. The green nem must be a Male because it shot sperm out for more then a hour. The rest of the nems expanded and had odd curling moves. I am guessing the others are female, but not sure yet. Has anyone noticed this behaviour what is your input, I will try and link a

video.
 
Once one spawns they all generally do so id say you have females . The curling behavior was most likely them grabbing sperm to fert thier eggs. They should spit out some wholly formed nems soon not sure on gestation times..:) congrats

Wow I lucked up with one Male out of 5 good odds
