The Grotto
Well i havent updated this guy in a while. he is Rio Heridia F1 and the female is same but F0. ive tried to pair these two out on a few occasions but had to keep them divided cause i wasnt able to dedicate enough time on their pairing. the female has laid eggs three times before. the first time the male wasnt ready and the las two times they were divided and the eggs were too far away for him to do anything. this time i laid the slab next to the divider and he fertilized them!!! i would say this batch was about 90% successful and this is my largest batch of fry from any of my pairs yet numbering in 1000+:eek::headbang2 please excuse the dirty glass and the glare. i wasnt about to stick my hand in there to clean it for the video lol i saw an opportunity to get decent footage and took it:) thak you for looking

thank you:) I didnt even plan for this spawn lol just kinda happend. and the male is around 9" maybe bigger id have to put a tape on him.
 
Ok here is a quick vid of the fry. both parents are raising fry thru the divider:) i just wish i would have caught the pair previous to the spawn so they could have had a go at it without the divider, guess ill have to try again after i remove this spawn lol
