Geophagus megasema (AKA Tapajos II) spawn

[dogofwar]

My wild pair of Geo. megasema spawned tonight for the first time.

I had them for the last couple of years in a 150g with a large Paretroplus dambabe (red Madagascar guy) and some other SA cichlids.

They just didn't have the peace that they needed to spawn.

Anyway, I transferred them to my 180g SA community. The change was what they needed (and they're the top fish in the tank).

Caught them spawning on a piece of driftwood.

I took a bunch of (really bad) pics and even a movie...so I'll post when I get a chance to download them.

They'll likely guard the eggs for a day or two...then the female will incubate.

Awesome! I know WC fish are much harder to spawn than farm-raised ones!

That's a bummer Matt. Hopefully they aren't taking the furlough to heart and will give you more fry soon.
