ID my new little guy

[WickedJester]

I for sure have a male and female. They spawned but due to too many other fish in the tank they got eaten. Here is a little update video of them. They are acting like they are about to spawn again.

i agree you look like you have a pair. but when they spawn if they spawn, its gona get nasty with that texas in there. he should be able to hold his own tho

Its a 6ft long 180 gallon tank. They have been mouthing at each other but I believe they will be fine.

Come home from work today and I have lots and lots of eggs. The male is the one that is on the eggs fanning them and the female is beat up. He has been chasing her away. Is that usual for them?

its not that bad but yes this happens alot in breedin fh's. your female is nice she isnt a widow maker. after spawning females can get really nasty

I dont think these eggs are going to make it. The female keeps eating them. The male is trying to protect them but several have been eaten already.

i dunno never had a female try and eat eggs like that
