Thats great!! I really like deppi. How are they treating their tankmates???

They are in quite a large tank, so all seems fine atm. As seen in the second video, they are very aggressive when approched, luckily their tankmates have shown caution.

I have a spare tank ready if everything goes tits up.

Great pair and good luck on the spawn.

Didn't seem to take them long to pair back up. Congratulations!

Is that the same tank with the argentea and the mob of little passiones?? If so do you think that this pair will be able to fend off the passiones gang??? I remember how they did away with the swordtail fry, granted that swordtails arent as doting as cichlid parents.

Very nice. Does the male always have his caudal fin pinched in like that?

They look amazing. Congrats.

I hate the UK. You guys are spawning stuff we can barely even find on this side.
