Breeding pair of Channa pleuro??!

[Loubard]

Hey all,

here are some pics of my channa pleuro pair.

The last few days they have been doing behaviour that makes me believe they could be mating! This ofcourse is uncertain because it's is (as far as I know) never been done before.

They do display the typical black noses and are constantly busy with each other. They also inflicted some torn fins on each other, but notthing that won't heal.

I managed to make some pictures of the action, but because the tank is very dim I had to use iso 1600, so please excuse the quality.

Hope you enjoy and I will keep you guys updated.

Cheers Koen
