Hypselecara temporalis/ Chocolate Cichlids

[notho2000]

This pair breeds regularly every two to three weeks. I never tire of this beautiful sight! What's kind of interesting is that since they've been in this 180G (about 5 months now), they have chosen to spawn on the vertical housing of a UV unit every time, despite there being plenty of driftwood and rocks handy. Guess they know something.

Here's a pic of their preferred spawning site.

That's a ton of eggs, Jim. Are you raising out fry or letting nature take its course?

They're a lovely pair.

I like seeing the update on your chocolates, my pair seem well bonded too with regular spawning

Love the chocolates!!! I have a juvenile that's quickly becoming my favorite.

Thanks, Ryan. They spawn so frequently that, other than part of one spawn that I'm raising, I have to let nature take its course. They usually disappear in about a week at most.
