I haven't posted in a while, been super busy. I have 2 large bonded pairs of C. Micropthalmus and one of those pairs spawned yesterday. Female is still sitting on them as of now so that is good. The male is probably 10", female around 7". As soon as I figure out how to send some pics here from my iphone I'll update. Pretty cool stuff!
Chuco Micropthalmus spawned last night!

I do frequent 50% water changes, feed the hell out of them and I've read they don't really spawn till the size mine are now. Pretty decent current but nothing like where they come from. I'd say patience and clean water is the key. They've been babied big time lol. They laid about 600 eggs or maybe more in a large clay pot. They are also the dominant fish in there and my tank is a little unique, It's a 10 foot long 190g so its only 18" wide. Perfect for these fish.
CONGRATS BRO!
I remember when you got the group. I was going to get them, but you beat me to it
Do keep us posted! I have a trio also and hope i get the same results!
