Wow! They spawned at that size. BTW, congratulations on the spawn.
hehe thanks. i am surprised as well because these guys are about the size of apistogrammas LOL
here are the pictures. the eggs are on the top part of the flowerpot. i am estimating a tiny clutch of around 30-40 eggs given the tiny size of the female. i had to divide the tank because the other females were becoming distracting to the male, whom i think was interested to further sow his wild oats. there was a bit of flaring when i put my finger on the tank but not like convicts or whatever. no glass banging here.
in any case it's pretty cool to see this. i wonder if they are monogamous in nature or if males naturally want to have harems?

female fanning eggs
female looking out
border patrol
the happy new parents

Congrats on the spawn. Are you worried about spawning at such a small size stunting their growth? A lot of energy goes into producing offspring.
yes of course
it's not intended. they were juveniles growing out in a tank together and i guess something else took place as well
