And another series,... within the series: the holding female.
The female that spawned and is tumbling eggs has chosen to seek cover on the left side of the tank close to where the spawning occurred. As you can see in the following images, she defends this sanctuary. Tau also does his best to keep the sub dominant males away from this structure. Protecting her?
I really enjoyed sitting back and watching all of the drama unfold over a three day period: pre-spawn, spawn, & post spawn. Tau's group is very comfortable with me and the camera in their face. For the most part, they ignored me and carried on the battle to create life right in front of me. I knew, I was in for a treat; so, I decided to take them time and observe (and take a bunch of pics - I shot over 200 pics).
Whoever said frontosa are boring has not witnessed what I have just visually documented. It was a treat and I feel blessed. Thank you everyone for the very kind words.

Just an update on the spawn that was the inspiration for this photography series. They are in a tumbler, in the same tank, and are doing very well. I think there is, approximately, 14 wigglers in this brood. I should clean/re-aquscape/photograph this tank more often :lol:
I'll keep adding to this thread as these fry continue to develop. I'll also keep working on the "Trophy Shot" of Tau with his fins flared and up close to the camera. If you enjoyed these pics, please come on back as I continue to update it.
Thanks for coming along for the ride!

Thank you!
That can be arranged: I do sell and ship ;-)...Hopefully those little tumblers will be mine in a few months!
