I posted a thread under the breeding category, but I figured I may as well put a post over here too! I have a few new pics in this thread as well.... And I guess you could just look through the different pics on flickr, but what the heck, I may as well make another post to show off my awesome pair! Enjoy!

Nice pair, the female is very bright!
I had 4 wild caught a while ago -- I have only one remaining now, as the most dominant male killed the rest :(
 
Man, that sucks about your females! And I have the divider ready to go in case he starts getting aggressive. What if I put the divider up and seperated them before the eggs hatched? It appears that she takes good enough care of them on her own, and that would ensure that he doesn't attack her when I am not around or something.
 
I would pull the eggs and and divide the parents for a couple of weeks.my first 2 spawns the father ate the fry.then they spawned 4 more times fine.then the male killed the female because he was ready to spawn again and she was not.
