hope your female gets ripe soon! will update once the eggs hatch, if ever..

thanks for the nice comments! they're currently housed with my C. atabapo pair, and i've set up a temporary partition so they (either pair) could spawn without much threat (not that i'm expecting to breed the pikes with as much ease).. will probably take some full tank shot later if i remove the partition...
