i'll throw a plastic plant in the tank...would the eggs get lost in the rocks or would the fish lay them on the plant?

The parents will decide which place is the best to stick them but those plastic plants is good as they might go there. However if they decide the rock then that maybe another hassle. Or you can just take out the rocks with eggs.

if they stick to the rocks i will just remove the rocks with eggs, i put a plant right were they were spending most of the time...in hopes that it they do spawn then they will place the eggs on the plant...

Sometimes it takes a couple of years for the polys to fully mature....I know Endlis take 2 years before they're mature

sens are ones that mature in 1.5 years or more...these are over 1.5yrs old...


well as of a few hours ago they are taking a break...they were at it non-stop for over 15hrs that i saw them...now the female has been off on her own, but the males haven't left the corner they were in...she comes over to check on them then goes away...once i looked in to see the smaller male side by side with the female and she was shaking her tail and hitting him with it...she has spent more time with the larger male though and the little male was cutting inbetween them...

it is almost lights out for them so we will see what tomarrow brings...
 
so far nothing and they have stopped...i think i may have interupted the process when i moved the big rocks around and put the plant in to make egg collection easier...they have done this before so they may start again and when they do i will not mess with anything in the tank to see if they will complete the spawn...
 
well they seem to be back at it...not as hot and heavy...i got some on vid and i i uploading it now...
