Rainbow cichlids definitely "in the mood".

I just upgraded from a 75 to a 120.

The 120 had a quick fishless cycle due to using colonized media so I'm slowly moving fish out of the 75 into the 120, over the past few days.

Most of the fish are still a little freaked out and trying to settle in. But not these two goofballs.

Less than 24 hours after being put in, they start spawning. This rock is covered in eggs.

Unfortunately these two are siblings, I thought I had two females, and I have no intent on raising the young. Most likely the loach will munch the eggs off that rock before the day is done.

It's still possible they are both females but one of them had a much more obvious ovopositor. They are still quite young.
