[RML] Connieae & Furcatus

We have had a very consistent hot and humid summer in Brisbane this year and
my fishroom temperatures have been consistently in the range of 28-32°C.
Even though we are now in autumn the temperature hasn't changed much.
However, the last couple of days we have been having steady rain and the
temperature in my fishroom has dropped to 24-26°C.

Anyway, to get to the point I didn't get any eggs at all from the furcatus
during the summer and only the odd one here and there from my connieae.
Well, since the temperature has dropped, today I got heaps of eggs from both
so they obviously like a drop in temperature or perhaps its the change in
barometric pressure that has convinced them to spawn.

Anyone else had similar experience?

Adrian.
