Paratheraps zonatum

[flowerpower]

I got these guys from Ira several months ago and they've put on quite a bit of size since. Last month I swore they were going to spawn for me but no such luck. The male flipped out on the female after a solid month of intense courtship, so she was removed from his tank. Now, after a few weeks apart I'm crossing my fingers and giving it another go. The male is about 9" and the female is roughly 7". They're in a 125.

Nice Ed. They look better in person. I see you got everything set up. When I get a chance I'll come by with my camera.
