Thanks! Mine have not laid eggs yet. I just got the females comfortable in their new tanks. Female number 2 looks like her tube is partially down. I do have a Male Red Devil in there with her. He is still smaller than she is but I'm still hoping he intices her to lay eggs. I am going to try the biggest escondido male soon but he is a good two inches smaller than she is. I have not been able to get a female red fader fh. In my area and the cichlid group I belong to really don't like hybrids of any kind. So it's hard to get my hands on other hybrids....

Here is an update: My Beautiful Red Texas female ended up having the dreaded "Duck Lips" disease. We fought the disease for 3 months with constant water changes and Clout. She is fully recovered but has a depression where the whole in the side of her mouth was. She is eating and regained her beautiful color.
I have my female Red Texas in a 125 divided between an unproven Unfaded Red Texas male and on teh other side a Proven Male H. Carpintis "Mexican Princess". Im hoping she lays eggs for one of them.
My 3 Red Texas juvies are growing nicely in a different 125 gallon tank. I added two other Red texas juvies to the mix in hopping one is a female to pair with the Proven Unfaded Red Texas male.
