I'm glad to share with you guys that my H. deppi were in breeding colors for 2 weeks and finally 2 days ago I could see the offspring, here they are:
Herichthys deppii fry
- Thread starter Parachromis_Dovii
- Start date
Awesome shots! I have some juvies growing out and hopefully I can get a pair. Congrats on the spawn.
Awesome species! Love the colors on these fish, what is there temperament like compared to H. carpintis?

Very similar, they keep out of his territory fishes much bigger than they are, this si the first spawn and I could say that I'm surprise because they are very good parents.
Hello Francisco,
Excellent parental care was one big plus points i also noticed when spawning H. deppii. The bond gets stronger with each spawn. The downside with this strong bond within a community tank is aggression. A 8ft tank with fully grown deppii pair and brood can be easily dominated.
Good luck with this once rare fish, i hope they will still be in the hobby when i come to keep them again.
Regards,
Lee.

Thanks for the added info!
very nice species
Very nice pair. They are one of my favorite CA sp. How is the male with the female? I hear they can be killers and have to be separated eventually.
It depends of the room, I had this couple in a very large tank and with others fishes that keep the couple together to defeat any intruder...
