Question: Moba Female Holding?

[dragonfish70]

Hi guys,
I've had these WC Mobas for a couple weeks now and at the moment I have a quad which I got from selling my f1 mpimbwes. Not really trying to breed them or anything on purpose, but to my surprise I believe one of the females is holding (ratio is 1m 3f) . I know Zaires are notoriously bad at holding and sadly I do not have an egg tumbler at the moment to do much about the eggs. My question is, do you think this female is holding? Sorry for crummy pics best I could get. I don't think she's faking it as there are no pebbles in my tank and I don't see her grabbing air bubbles to tumble. Thanks guys!

Get a double screened tumbler for her or future use. Got mine from Jrogo.

Thanks you guys! I think I'll let her hold and try to get a tumbler soon.

Well, this morning I found the female not holding anymore. She probably ate the eggs or something before I can set up the alternate tumbler. I am quite frustrated as it would've been my first spawn in a long time. Seriously considering on sticking with a nice Adult mpimbwe colony instead as I regret selling mine awhile back. Thanks guys for your help! I think I'll just try to get some adult mpimbwes again.
