Took these late last night after a WC. I just find this species to be hilarious. They are going to go in their own tank soon, they just get so hyperactive when spawning and end up claiming half of an already overstocked growout tank.
I don't think a lot of MFKers have experience with the cryptoheros species and they're really a ton of fun. Enjoy! Check out the Black Belt's teeth at the end of the second video.
 
You have a very nice set up. Nice looking Black Belt. I just traded in 6 around 6 - 8 inches.
 
from what i can see your aquascaping looks really nice. do you have any full tank shots?
 
I will do a photoshoot of my tanks when they're done being scaped. This tank is a 125 and the right side is currently a lot of ugly PVC pipes--not really photo worthy.
 
Appropriate title! Those two are mean! That's why I don't keep Convicts in my community tanks anymore. I guess Cutteri are just as ferocious when breeding. The female is very beautiful in her breeding dress. She looks like a fish that you'd find weaving in and out of a coral formation. Very nice set up and entertaining stock.
 
Thanks. The female is in breeding dress more often than not, but the male doesn't seem to color up until there are fry in the tank. His colors get almost as nice as hers are though when he is colored up.

They did indeed do the deed.
 
Congrats. I'm going to have to swing by and see them soon.
 
Please don't congratulate me bro. You don't congratulate me when I wake up in the morning and take a wiz, and that's actually a lot more effort than it takes to spawn these two. :ROFL:

You want some?
