Couldn't see them from the front, but the females bright orange belly, and the pairs edgy patrolling seemed to suggest a spawn.
Had to take the shot from above the tank.

They're awesome, I have about 60 babies and can't get rid of them. Funny how that works, the demand is always where the supply isn't.

Great fish though, here's a pic

They are really pretty common around here too, there are usually 2 or 3 bags at every aquarium society auction. That's where I got them as fry last year, they were about $1 each, 8 in a bag.

If all goes well, and the fry last, and grow out, I'll send you some in a few months.
Of course at this early egg stage, that might be a bit premature.
cool thanks. Keep me updated.

Fry are now about 2 weeks since hatch. I had to remove the parents because they appeared to start cleaning a new spawning site, and didn't want to risk the parents thinking the older fry were a threat..
