My young pair of Thorichthys sp. 'Mixteco Gold' spawned, I haven't had these fish long, so the spawn wasn't expected so soon as I have struggled with these in the past. The eggs don't seem fertile, but at least its a start on spawning and eventually raising these rare cichlids. It could come sooner than expected with the second female showing interest to the male.
Heres a video of the pair:

Your fish are beautiful! Congrat on them spawning.
