This morning I found my female nic guarding a cave on the far left of the tank. I didn't know for sure if they had spawn since nics dig long tunnels and thier eggs roll around. But this afternoon I looked and saw many round orange eggs in one of the gaps in the egg crate at the bottom of the tank. The female is guarding the cave while the male is kind of coming in and out of guard duty. The camera scared him off but he was with the female defending the eggs. I was wondering while my nics were not spawning, turns out all the needed was a deep cave structure. Should have payed attention to Montess when he told me that his started to spawn when a cave was present. I am soo happy they have finally spawned! It seems to have brought the pair together. Any tips appreciated. This is the only fish I have spawned since my angelfish pair oh so long ago.
Anyway pics!
PS: IF you look closely you can see the orange eggs between the egg crate.
