Hi,
My female Firemouth decided to lay with my male Ellioti. I didn't think much of it as previously the Firemouth had tried it with the Tibar, twice, but although the eggs seem fertile they disappeared after a few days with no sign of fry. This time though the eggs have hatched and the fry are now around a month and reaching an inch, although there is still not much colouration.
Has this happened before? I did a search online but I couldn't find any regarding those two species. I've seperated them from the main tank now, which their mum and dad managed to successfully control and protect the fry in.
Let me know if you want to see some pictures. I appreciate any interest or help!
