Herichthys bartoni (pair bond / spawning)

[nutty]

Two weeks since introducing the bartoni group, the alpha pair have spawned. A water change and a raise in temperature seems to have done the trick. Absolutely gutted I missed the beginning of the spawn, hey ho, maybe next time.

Here's a video to share.

Saw this video a little eariler (im subbed) and love the collr change the female goes through. Picked up a small male bartoni about a week ago and am already liking this species. Thanks for posting.

Lee, great little pair! ...and it gave you an excuse to play with water lilies as per their biotope?

Excellent! This is one of my favorite cichlids to see in breeding dress. Hats off again for the outstanding aquascaping! I would also like to keep Bartoni one day.

Yes, I been growing a few bulbs of these in various tanks, pretty undemanding plant imo. These aren't a Mexican species merely the African tiger lotus green variety.
