I have checked my Leo that I got a couple of days ago and I believe it is a female. Do they need any special care over a male?? She seems to be friendly she don't mind being held!! Should I put any plants or anything in the tank???

Girl gex need no extra care over males, only when they're gravid. My female seems to be alot more tame and calm than my male, though this definately isnt always the case, and I suspect he may be a different subspecies so maybe that has something to do with it.

Well mine is very tame, she don't mind being held at all. When they become gravid do i have to worry about her getting pacted with eggs or anything?

Sometimes female leos will become impacted, but just be sure that if you decide to breed her, have her ready to produce eggs. Be sure she's of breeding weight(Preferably above 60 grams), active and healthy. Make sure she's taking food before you breed her as well, but she might not be accepting prey items if she's about to shed. Anyway, good luck with her and keep us posted.
