I went to get a few pics of the new fish this morning and noticed one of the little FH was really torn up. I also noticed it was hanging with one of the RD/Midas last night. Well there are now lots of eggs behind a piece of driftwood this morning and the FH had a rough but probably fun night! They are both protecting the eggs and the eggs look good. Here are a few pics of mom and dad. The eggs are in behind the driftwood so I probably will not be able to get a picture.

Weird to see how her tube isn't even out. Usually the tube stays out couple days even after laying eggs. Are these pictures taken before they laid eggs?
But then you mentioned that we can't see the eggs since they are behind the driftwood, so the picture has to be after the breeding.......:confused: Her poop don't look normal either to be a egg guarding mom, looks like she needs some TLC:D

Anyways congrats and hope to see some frys!:headbang2

She definately needs some TLC. Pic was taken this morning and the eggs were already there. I am not certain that they laid last night. But noticed the beat up FH and looked to see what they were guarding. The eggs may have already been there last night or even earlier. It is kinda hard to see the eggs where they are but they are definately there and none are white.
 
hex there, fish is sick

Already on it. The entire tank is getting medicated food since tuesday night. Feeding both types of Jungle medicated pellets. That one seems to be the only one though.
