They haven't bred since I put them in a community tank. For a while I was thinking of putting them back in the smaller tank by themself to breed but changed my mind. I originally put them in here to stop the breeding in order to get the most growth I could. TBH, I don't care if they breed or not, I just want them to keep growing as big as they can grow. I don't need baby fry and all the aggression it brings with it. My tank is perfect just how it is. They have a strong bond with one another and the male doesn't try to kill the female. I went thru a lot of Festae with previous attempts at getting a bonded pair like this one. I'm happy with things the way they are but if they happen to breed then so be it, I'll dish out the fry to everyone.
