Two very nice looking fish. Excelent, very clean!
 
Thanks-

This pair is great together, all fins intact, which is strange for Amphilophus. They have bred three times but they ate the first batch of eggs and then ate the wrigglers with the second. Hopefully the third time is the charm.

I have two other pairs that are laying eggs but they are not very attentive and let predators invade the nest. When they spawn, all three pairs seem somewhat overwhelmed by the process and they either retreat or kill the brood. Hopefully they get the process down over time.
