Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Ovulation question...
So I have a dinker female that has lock with three males. Is there anything I can do to encourage ovulation or do I just wait and see? I have her all set up in a tank that has 100 degrees one side, 80 degrees on the other with hide log, and big water bowl. Today she's curled up on the cold side of the tank, I'm hoping that's a good sign. She's also off feed.

All you can do is wait but it may be a good sign that she's off feed and on the cool side, time will tell.

Or she could be hiding from 100 degree ambient temps ?

Yea, 100 is a bit high. I'd take that down to about 92. Other than that, cool side seeking is generally follicle building behavior. Really though there is nothing you can do but wait - some females will ovulate after 1 lock while others can take 15. It isn't the locks that count, it is how developed her follicles are. They have to be 35-45mm before she will ovulate.
