One of my pair of HRP's spawned!!

I thought the female was hiding a lot in her root. Yesterday I noticed a handful of free swimming little punks!! I have a couple different varieties of the HRPs, this pair resembles the convict the most out of all of mine, but it is a beautiful little fish. I couldn't get pics of the fry, dad was too protective and didn't like the camera! But here is a pic of dad before the kids.

There are different varieties of HRP's out there. I have some that are from the Rio Monga and when breeding they turn dark and look more like a convict except for the red in the fins. Awesome fish though.

I think I've got three different types...This pair is actually my least favorite of all of them, but they do have some nice colors (Just too similar to the convict for my taste)...Anyways, I'll have a lot of fry to throw around here soon.

I have one male that is way more beige and resembles what some would call a t-bar convict but he has the red and blue in his dorsal finnage and anal fins.
