I've got a new camera and I can finally share some of my classics...I got really lucky and caught the hungry mother in mid-bite

Congrats on the breeding.

How big is the pair,what's your water like, and did you do anything special to get them to breed? A guy I know here has a group of 8-12" specimens but can't seem to get them to breed.

You got some very nice specimens. THAT is a parrot, i cant believe how an ugly deformed "ballon" formed thing got named the same name as this fish.

I am looking forward to the answers on these as well. Hoplarchus Psittacus is going to be on my stock list in December. Great catch on the "big bite".
