Green Fliers w/ Wigglers! Day 4 (pics, video)

[Diogenes]

I have a pair of Archocentrus centrarchus. They bred 4 days ago. They're much more aggressive. They killed two platy's and the female even nipped me when I put my hand in the tank to pull some java moss off the filter inlet. There's been a dramatic color change, and they've moved the eggs to a pit just below the driftwood. The eggs have little tails and they can flop around a little. The female flier has stuck some of them to the wood, and stuck some together in a ball. Both M and F have changed color to a very dark blue/black.


You can see the parents and the wigglers in this video:

thanks guys!


So today I removed the filter intake, and replaced it with a piece of aquaclear foam about the same size. It seems to have diminished my GPH somewhat though. I also picked up some hikari first bites.

Wow cool video and pictures.
I think Fliers might be my favorite outta the convict group.
