Looking good, I like the yellow.

Female will select a cave, when she is ready she will display in front of the cave, bending her body to show the male a bright red/pink belly.
When spawning is complete the male will stand guard outside and the female will not not allow the male back in the cave.

I used 4" flower pots with a notch cut in the edge just large enough to allow them to enter

Hard to say, the ones I had years ago were about 3" male, 2" female

not big enough, that's about the size of mine.
Breeder told me 6 more weeks, but I think it will be a little longer
