I have been aware of these fish for over a year now and up until last month i didnt really have much interest in them, yes they were stunning fish but they grow larger than my usual dwarfs and are supposidly more aggressive (Ive not yet witnessed that much aggression?).
At the Manchester auction a few weeks back i bid on and won a adult pair of these stunning fish. Upon getting them back to the fishroom i decided to house them in my largest tank which is currently full of medium sized angelfish. This tank was meant to be a holding tank until one of my breeding tank became free and i could move them over!!!!
Things dont always go to plan and i have had a feeling the fish were going to spawn over the last few days..Late on the (16th oct) at around 10pm the pair started spawning just inside an overturned spawning cone. They have laid aprox 150 eggs and are both stand guard as i type..Ive left the light on in the fishroom to allow them to see and protect the eggs and ill see how they get on..Fingers crossed...
