A few pics of my pair and first bunch of fry who are now in a sepeart tank and are 1cm on average in size. The pair arnt agresive with out fry inless when im vacuming the male seems to attack me if i start to move/mix the sand around as to say this is his sand leave it alone lol. The male isnt in breeding colours in pics so he is lacking the blue/purple around and on his dorsal fin. The female is 8-8.5 inches i havent measured the male shes the boss and since there first spawn they have been really good with each other i only jave ever had to use the divider once after first and failed attempt of spaing as the male was ready agian befor the girl and beat her up. They are un related and put the male into her tank at the sizes they are at now and thankfully it has worked and they excepted each other.
By hte way my camera is only 3megapixle and i suck lol

Sorry aboutt pic size my computer hasnt got any progarms for editing pics yet and will get a mod to fix.

I read some wear in the wild they like caves not sure if its true, but i like the idea casue it helps keep the fry together easyier and its a big pot with room for both parents and fry so there is no squashing each other in thier.

Dam just noticed the fry pics didnt up load lol ill do it l8ter, i mighttry to take better ones
 
my pair just breeded although they are a little smaller but how long does it go from hatch fry sucking on yolk to free swimmer?

about 3 days, its like rule of three almost as its almost 3days for egg to hatch, 3 to be freeswimmig and 3 weeks and then take them out. My pair have been really good parents thoe as i kept the fry wit them for probly a little over 2 months and barley any got eaten.
 
Beautiful pair... great markings on that male..
