Really nice lookin' tank and fish- Thanks!................best of luck w/ the feastes hope your male doesn't go psycho killer like mine does after they spawn.

Thanks! I hope not either. Seems to be heading in the right direction though. If I hadnt checked under the right side, I never would have known there were even eggs. The cons, pictus and one grammode are being allowed to hang out within 6 inches of the eggs and there is no aggression at all. Its pretty uneventful and the opposite of what I expected from them. I had the same experience with my Dovii pair as well. I wonder if Im just lucky (why start now?) or if the tank size is helping. With the festae though, there are tons of places for everyone to hide if either one of them go crazy.

dude love your set up looks real sweet congrats on the spawn and nice Grammodes pair female looks like mine thought you snuck in and swooped her up in the middle of the night I had to go check lol :popcorn:;):D

HAHA:grinno: Is your female pretty passive? Mine is very passive and doesnt bother anyone really, but the male is an SOB. He thinks he is full grown!

The eggs were laid under the driftwood on one of the bigger rocks and I could only see them viewing from the side with a flashlight. I cant see the eggs anymore and the female only comes out from under the wood to grab a bite to eat then goes right back, but is brighter than shes ever been...so I dont know whats going on. I hope there are fry but I cant tell. I do occasionally see a convict or grammode haul *** from underneath the wood, obviously being chased violently.
 
Congrats on your Spawn. your festae look great. how big are they now? I read somewhere that it said male festae arnt fertile til a year old? do you know anything about that. And deff let us know if you see wrigglers:) thats just too awesome bro.

Makes sense, festae are slow growing and dont get big enough to spawn until at least a year old.

Scott, hows the tank coming along?
