It is not always apparent when they have spawned but tell tale signs are when the fish drive away all of the other fish from the cave. Adding newly hatched brine shrimp to the tank will guarantee any fry getting food. The fry will stay in the cave until the parents are ready to spawn again; they are then kicked out into the open tank.
