Yes he does he is a great father. He is a stone cold killer but he has a little girl friend now. It's the only fish that he hasn't tried to kill. It's a little midas hybrid maybe not sure. But they are great parents. So cool to watch never had a fish spawn except Africans 20yrs ago.
My kids have really enjoyed learning and watching the eggs to fry. I will post pictures of him and his little lady. I'm just leaving the fry with them no plans to move them out.
Here is a pic from this morning thought I would post one of him before his water change. This fish is loving the state wide stay at home thing. He is getting a ton of water changes rite now.
