Decent clutch so far and they're still at it.

Wow. That takes talent ... how big and how old are they? Satanoperca are notoriously late bloomers so I'm curious.

Man, you had me scared that one of you beauties past! Congrats on the fry, they are gauranteed to be stunners with parents like those.

These are 2 of the original fish I purchased in September last year at around 4cm, so I'm guessing they could be about 18 months old?

Edit: Sizes would be estimates, I'd put the male at 6" TL, female at 5".

Quite weird actually, as they laid right in the center of the tank, I thought it would be full of dramas. The female is sitting next to the eggs guarding them but letting all other leucosticta swim wherever they like - I expected a warzone.
