Despite my best efforts the hogs have spawned in this smaller flower pot again. I do not think the eggs were fertalized but we will see. The fish are doing well but they are a bit finicky when it comes to eating. They only eat NLS and the female barely eats that. I guess in time they will come around. Anyway... here is a video of them guarding their turf.

Thanks hopefully I get wrigglers this time.

Nice hogs and that video is awsome.
Thanks a lot, I love messing with them like that.

Great Job Reg, I see your putting my suggestion for the pots to good use. Also, you know what this means........ This video is going on the Amphilophus Connection FB wall.
Thanks, and yea the flower pots work like a charm. Most of the time as soon as the female ducks inside the male looses interest and just swims away. He can be quite rough sometimes hence the shredded edges on her fins.

The Amph hall of fame I love it :D They are a really nice pair Reggie! I love how certain fish react to those magfloats, it cracks me up.

Thanks a lot justin. I love the fact that they attack the algea cleaner. One of the fun of keeping aggressive cichlid :).
