Australoherros Red Ceibal spawn

Little hard to get shots, she kids the fry in an algae covered corner

male

He's a bit scratched up keeping the Gymno away

They look great, good luck with fry.

I think the key to raising the fry for these is enough algae and gunk in the tank for the fry... And some but not too much pressure on the parents.

Nice pictures!

Thanks Matt
Lots of gunk and algae in this tank,and as you can see, the Gymno is a real thorn in their side.
Got a couple more pics with the male, but the scratch is a pain

Good stuff, Duane!

This pair has spawned before and did so again I took these pics yesterday. There is also another bonded pair in the tank I will need to remove them.

Ira - are these the "wild" fish on your list? Is Felipe the source of them or somewhere else?

Checking on the fry I found that the second pair also spawned but left the eggs exposed and fled as I approached.
