Frist off thanks to all that help with this. OK I've had 2M's/ 4F's in a 75g planted tank for God can't remenber how long I've had them. Anyway The've had fry after fry. Peride around the tank with them and everything. There great parents and I'd have to say the best parents I've every heard of or seen. Anyway about 12days ago.
{ day2 }My larger male started showing off for the 3 larger females. I though yes he's going to spawn again. So before they got going good I added a new cave. {day4 }Well this was like adding viagra to the tank I guess. Cause instantly started showing off to all the females. { day 5} The females stared going in one of the older caves taking turns one in one out this went on for 2 more days. { day8} The 3 females are all in the new cave. I mean all the femles are in the cave taking turns laying eggs. I got this on video showing them turn sideways and lay a egg and then before long there was a huge nest of eggs on the inside of the cave.
Now it's day 20 and I have two females swimming round the tank with a school of around 100 fry in toe. One day the females will swim with them the next day the male and one of the females. Has anybody ever seen anything like this before or heard of it?
