They’re at it again...

That’s a gorgeous couple. I have such a soft spot for these. One of the best fish ever.

Thank you. I too have such a soft spot for green terrors. They are great fish to keep.

Greenie is a mommy again today. They spawned a few days ago and they hatched today.

I could see tails wiggling, but I think they die shortly after. You can see there are a good number with fungus growing on them.

Do you do anything to stimulate her to lay eggs? I used to lower the temperature for my africans to make them spawn. Is it the same with the GT's?

I don’t do anything intentionally to get them to spawn. Since I do two water changes a week she just ends up spawning right after that. I try to keep the temp close to the tank temp, but I’m sure it’s slightly lower.
For her, as long as she isn’t stressed out she will spawn monthly. When she had babies in the tank she only spawned once.
