What is this?

not a prolapse

Ovipositor. Note also the bit of a bulge in the belly (eggs). Very much in keeping with the behavior you're seeing.

Well, the G.B. spawned in the last 24hrs. I didn't get to observe but the middle sized one is protecting the eggs. She doesn't seem worried by the SD as they swim into the nest area with out her spazzing. The smallest G.B. Is a different story.

Very cool, more fry! My GB used to dig deep pits in the gravel, but didn’t have a mate so it was all for naught.

Watching over their spawn.

Rather bummed. I lost the bulk of the RH TAPAJO fry due to an ammonia spike. I moved 6 of the 7 remaining fry to the 55g. I found 2 dead the next morning. One is still in the 29g as it hides as soon as I dip a net in the tank. The others are mixing with the cory cats and the 2 kribs.

Eggs hatched and wigglers are in a cluster of rocks. The male has gotten very defensive. He is chasing the smallest G.B. and the smaller H.L.
