Tonight (01/09/2010) both have there tubes down and ready too go. So fingers crossed we have some action hehe
 
Well the pair did the deed today, which has impressed me big time.
Theres quite a few eggs, and all the ones left have the wiggiling black dots which is a bonus.

Now a few questions:

1) How often are Boccourti bred in the aquaria?
2)Has anyone seen it before in UK?
 
great looking pair. bocourti are very beautiful fish. they are definitely on my must-get list. :)
