I bought 4 3-4 inchers from Jeff Rapps about a month ago. I noticed 2 had paired up for a few days in my pond and was excited. Well today I noticed they were really aggressive to anything that came near. I took a closer look and noticed a ton of babies. Now i hope they all stay away from the TSN and Marbled Cat.
 
Well i got 2 gens of convicts, soo I like to try and stay optimistic.
 
Congrats on the spawn. Loiselli are nice and highly underated.

sorry the pics arent better...they were on the other side of the pond...parents are doin a good job of protecting them
 
Excellent shots. What type of setup are you running?
 
Awesome set up indeed! Are those live plants?! Outdoor pond? Gorgeous!! Very pimpin! Loisellei are awesome!! Freddies, loisellei, motaguense, all awesome Parachromis species!! :D love zee colors! But that tank is pimp!! I love the plants! Perfect for the fry to seek refuge in...so its very possibly they will make it! :D
 
Thanks guys, the "tank" is a maybe 20,000 gallon pond. And that giant mat is a US Noxious Weed. The state spends prolly millions to try and eradicate it. I don't have millions so there it is. It cuts out a ton of swimming room in the pond and the best solution for removal has been a rake. I'll try and get some better pics.

Thats PIMP for real.

So since you are in miami I am guessing you dont have to heat the pond?

What other fish do you have in it?
