Finally! Went down to the fish room this afternoon and found the male Istlanum on his side of the divider displaying to the female. She's been ready to go for a few weeks now but he's shown no interest, till today. I removed the divider and they have been going wild all day! Looks like there should be eggs within the next couple of days, I hope!

Nice pair and cool pics. I have two batches of fry right now (three days apart from two females and 1 male).

Very nice! Congrats! Are they from the same batch that JoeFatFish collected?

They are not. My breeding trio came from Conkel. I have a big pair from Rapps (color is very different)

BTW, I've seen your pair in person ;). Which one is your pair?

I was the one who took pics of the istlanum's when I visited Joe. I should have bought some but did not have the $ at that time.

I hope your pair breeds soon. I had luck breeding them in a community tank.
 
NICE!

Very cool! From what I understand there's not too many left from the group Joe collected! I took 2 males and a female at the time. I wanted another female but they were all spoken for. The smaller male died and I was left with the pair wich has been divided till last night.
