Theraps Lentiginosum spawn!

You can't make them out but there are about 80 eggs. Also a small pair of Theraps Coeruleus have spawned at same time but laid eggs behind a big rock and can hardly be seen in same tank.

Thank Duane. You and a couple of other folks on this forum are the only ones that appreciate these rare beauties. Do any of your lents have nuchal humps? I have 1 7" lent that has a big old knot and is mean as hell. The above pair is small in comparison, male maybe 4", female around 3. Not ideal size for spawning this particular fish but appropriate for the smaller growing Coeruleus. Nature is nature I guess but was not expecting the lents to spawn so small.

This is the only one left from the very first batch available.
