so my flower horn has turned darker and has been digging for the last few days she just dropped her tube.... she is extremly aggresive and seems to have chosen my f1 male xiloaensis is this even possible and is this what her tube should look like?

bump.... does anyone know if this cross is possible? and sorry for the blurry pics.... does this look like breeding behavior?
 
If she havent laid eggs yet, you should give them a water change.

I think that's cool. very possible. If they can breed, then there will be fries. I'd be surprised if not.

the female only lets the xilo into the cave but he doesnt seem to be interested anything else is chased away..... i think she dropped her tube i will try and take a few clear pics.....

yeah it looks like it
 
i wonder if anyone has done this before? i wonder how the fry will turn out? i am still not sure if the xiloaensis will fertelize them he is still young and shows no interest in breeding..... but he is the only fish allowed to go into the cave? i am very confused....

i just did a 30% water change yesterday........ i wish she would have paired with the midas the fry would have developed a bigger hump.....
