Hoplarchus psittacus...

[Scatocephalus]

... I HAVE EGGS!!

Yes, I know that the glass is filthy and the tank needs to be siphoned out. I don't want to disturb mommy and daddy just yet. They can live in filth for a few days until the eggs hatch and are free swimming.

I AM SO TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY STOKED!!

Oh and glass is only the show off part of maintenance .. Or personal viewing pleasure We know your tanks are in excellent care .

Wow that very nice, My discus are like that too. They want pristine water conditions but algae all over everything. Then they just eat the eggs anyhow

Whoah that is an achievment alright, well done!

Very cool scat! You and Pnut have got me all interested in psittacus and a few other non crenicichlas. Best of luck with the fry if they are fertilized. Do you plan on separating the fry from the parents or letting the parents raise them? Do you have those lents or any other pikes in with them and how are they being treated?

Congrats!!! They are gorgeous fish! I am rooting for the health and hatching of the babies!

 

[Bogwoodbruce]

I hope that you are able to bring on some fry.
