[video=youtube;eQAYpUwmKXo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQAYpUwmKXo[/video] My red tiger motas are starting to show spawning behavior both have dug nest started fanning and prespawn behavior and female is really gravid and filled with eggs hope they can get it done through the divider. Cant think of putting them together until female is fully healed from last male she was with.

Great news - that didn't take you long at all!
Yea its not a done deal yet but they are moving in the right direction. I have to wait and see what they will do with the divider in the tank, i dont really like breeding with the divider but i have to get the female where i want her to be before i remove it.

Looking good! One of my RTM growouts laid over the weekend, but the eggs were not fertilized. I would have pulled the spawn even if they were viable though. I want to get mine looking as good as yours before I try to breed them. Mine are at 2.5in female & 3.5in male right now.
