Jim,
I did the same thing using the ceramic dishes for under flower pots, I
stacked about seven or eight with four small stones in each creating a
crevice between each inch and a half dish. I just put in the female
fieryblack a few days ago. The male is soon to follow. I was hoping
this would make collecting the eggs easier and keep the predation
down. Sounds like it will work.
