Just a little update. They have spawned a couple times and another 1 fry has every survived. Luckily this time I got them alone in a 55 gallon tank. The tank is messy. I had all my cichlids in that tank while the 180 was cycling after I moved it. They are in a 55 by themselves now and it needs cleaned but I dont want to kill the fry. Will have another video up shortly of them since they have been free swimmers.
I love the orange one with the partial black bars.
oh and to get the youtube embed, click the YT button and in between the brackets paste the youtube url but delete everything up to and including the = sign. I couldn't figure out for the longest time how to do it either. lol
he was actually colored like the female just with more orange till fighting with another male. The fighting cause his scales to fall off or flake off and when he got healthy he never really got the full length of his stripes back.
