New pickup today

Borelli’s are doing good, put an almond leaf in the tank, added some tannins, and some leaf litter.

Nice little habitat for them to explore, well done!

Agree with Hendre. That looks like a nice little set up.
I like the addition of the leaf litter, personally I would add a lot more.
Are they still being shy? Adding a small shoal of marbled hatchet fish should make them a little bolder.
Nice fish and tank though, really like it.

I have more leaves that I will be adding but I’m just drying them out a little more.

They are not as shy, the females know I’m the food bringer, the male is still quite shy.

I cannot add anymore fish to this tank, as it’s much too small for more fish. This one is a temporary tank as well

Omg so fantastic update on this tank, they have been doing so well and I have not been paying attention to them that they have laid eggs, guarded them, hatched and now I have free swimmers....I seen them today, there’s a whole swack of them in there....not sure if you can see them in the picture

Only question I have is, should I leave them or move them in with my hrp fry? The hrp fry are about 3-4 weeks old, quite large in comparison

I'd try and keep them in there with the parents or in their own tank.

Congratulations by the way

Sorry I forgot to answer your question, mine were almost fully grown when I got them but I read they are slow growers!

Updated pictures, my male is getting more and more beautiful!

The male ate the entire last batch of babies. But at least I know they can and will breed for me, with a little flc I’m sure I could get it to happen again.
