Another forum I follow as a question about differences between o. eigenmani and striped raphael and since a picture is worth a thousand words…A26C3CD2-7C32-48BF-A598-553E4078D919.jpeg7CC9A7E4-A05F-4397-9675-1635C301EA4B.jpeg45BD313C-8A94-4E7C-8DB7-8AA574AC2A8E.jpeg0B5B7628-970B-4AE4-9AB9-43A01205C1B7.jpeg123A83F0-D4F8-4EA7-A34E-F8A9365900E3.jpeg

Doing water changes and filter cleanings so I caught all nine Centromochlus musaicus to sex. 5 males and 4 females. Moved three of the males to other tanks as I noticed torn fins.

There has been some friendly teasing about my fish that never get seen. So, here are four of them :grinyes:4BB4AFCE-63FF-4EC2-A328-7A8FEE68D9B3.jpeg

My F1 eques spawned either yesterday evening or very early this morning. I leave my tanks unheated during the summer so they have had a 3mo cool period. Saturday I did a 50% water change with cool water and turned the heaters back on. Yesterday, the male were chasing the females and moving into a T position but I didn’t notice the females being receptive. I feed Ken’s .5mm green fry feed normally with occasional live black worms, frozen blood worms and fresh water krill.
I removed 6 eggs but there is a large mat of Java moss that they spawned in and I’m not going to remove that. Tank includes two parrot dorradids and a small school of harlequin rasboras.
Swordtail is two tanks over. Closest is the eques tank.
