Here's Bruce spending time with female 2;





She is showing the same colours as the other female, but no tube evident.

Looking forward to the WC video. I've had 2F 1M together for around 6 months. There's the occasional chase and flaring but no real violence. They coexist quite well together really. I haven't had any spawning in that tank though. I imagine there'd be increased aggression if so.

Bruce looks amazing! Got to be my fav GT at the moment. I probably already read it somewhere, but he was a LFS find?

Going back at the first pics of them, it's amazing how you just don't know what you're going to get. I probably would have passed on those guys had I spot them in my LFS, but look what stunners they are

 

[MrsE88]

Yep, I can see it. Haha
Only a matter of days now I'm sure.

Gosh, Bruce's fins are just gorgeous!

Uprooting doesn't sound so bad.

 

[DarylMac]

Thanks all. All 5 of these guys were LFS finds. The shop was so busy when I went in I didn't even have a chance to pick out the ones I wanted!

Bruce wasn't even the best looking male when I first got them. He literally grew into this over night and has just gotten better with age.

He's not a glass banger, at least not yet, but I do think he has a good personality. He's always out to greet me, he just doesn't want to kill me.

We'll see if that changes in the coming days!

So I was off by 12 - 48 hours... they're spawning right now!

 

[MrsE88]

Awesome! Congrats

So my kids helped me pick names for the female GT's;

Leia

She's the one that laid eggs... Get it? The "Egg Leia"... my kids are 4 and 6, and they both like Star Wars. I thought it was quite clever.

And sticking with the Star Wars theme, the other female is Ventress


I ran 18km this morning and now I'm tired and feeling lazy. I'll have a coffee and see if that picks me up enough to do my WC...

 

[MrsE88]

Haha, that is clever.
The girls are looking really good. Thick bands on both of them And so exciting that Leia laid eggs.
I hope yours last longer then mine did.
