I was just about to walk out of my house this afternoon when i noticed a couple of my fish getting it on!

I had no idea the smaller one was female! and I was thrilled to have been there for it.
on top of that, i got video of it. not the best.. it was on my cell

this is the first time any of my africans have bred!
the eggs were not what i was expecting at all lol
she picked them all up in her mouth, and she is obviously holding now... how long will it be until i there is fry?

honestly, im not even sure of the IDs of these fish.. does anyone know???

My sunshine was definitely jealous and kept trying to interrupt.. im surprised they were so bold as to do this in a full tank of fish

enjoy the vid, i went for a risque theme haha

she definitly picked up eggs, i could see it all so clearly but my camera sucks


i dont think theyre the same variant.. i didnt buy them together, but i dont really know what species the female is anyways.. the male is a red shoulder
