No, It should be just me(Spine). Maybe Sarah got us mixed up.
Anyway, I need my fish to hurry up and start breeding so I can start posting stuff on here.

Finally... some free swimming fry.

I'll have to get Jumbie to come by and verify the spawn.

Update:

Daddy killed Mommy and isn't playing nice with the babies either.:mad:

I got home from work and Mommy was DOA. Dad had eaten fry also so I removed 99% of the remaining ones the ones I couldn't catch were left in the tank.

I did catch the male and spanked his caudal fin while he was in the net
After I released him he went right to a corner of the tank and stayed there nose first for the longest time it's like he knew he was being punished:D

It looks like Daddy has learned his lesson, he's acting normal again. After he came out of the corner he started collecting the babies and taking them back to the log where they usually hang out.

I have no idea of why he snapped since I wasn't home when she was attacked, all I know is they got along fine before and I never saw any signs of aggression from either fish.

The good news is the fry are doing fine in the grow out tank and my other pair are getting ready to spawn any day now!

Last Night I had a trifecta,Green Severum,Red Jewels & Australosheros sp.Red Ceibal.

This morning I have a single.I guess either the parents or their tankmates ate the eggs.

Hopefully these guys don't get the same idea,lol.
