So today my two biggest and best looking cryptoheros cutteri "rio jutiapa" from DogofWar (Matt) decided to begin showing signs of pairing off, with the male finally standing up to the female overnight. They have taken over the right side of the tank, only allowing the other fish over there when I have the camera up taking pictures, camera shy I guess. 
Here are a few pics of them, pics are done on an iPhone and don't do the fish justice...
The male (so much more yellow and red than in the pictures, the red appeared literally overnight)
For reference this was him two days ago
Female before
Pair together (you can see the female is flaring up, and her fins are a bit tattered from the male)

Hopefully they'll cement the pair bond this week
