Hey Justin, your dovii spawned on your 3D background too, right? Kind of interesting, no?

Yeah they did. On the one of the deeper impression part of it.
 
Cubans are next! They've picked the spot out and everything. My tank has had some very interesting sounds coming from it today--lots of spitting gravel against the glass. :D
 
Cutteri mom has moved the fry three times now. She is an excellent parent. Male is doing his part too, guarding the corner and occasionally watching the fry while the mom cruises around for a second and grabs some food.
 
"Convicts on crack" indeed. Awesome video. :headbang2
 
I know this is an old thread but how are these guys doing these days? I just picked up a group of juvies from Dogofwar and have gotten the "itch" to breed. Interesting to see the difference between the Rio Mongo and the Rio Jutiapa strains

Jeez, zombie thread! :)

Let's see... They started spawning about every two weeks and in general being a bit of a nuisance (granted, a very attractive and entertaining nuisance to have). I went on vacation and had a friend watching my tanks and got a call that the female had a chunk of flesh bitten off her side and she died the next day. Have no idea who did it and it's the only adult CA cichlid I've lost to aggression.
The male is living happily in my 225 community and is starting to show a bit of a nuchal hump. I have two of their offspring growing out in a 20 gallon.
Enjoy them!
