There are actually two F0 males in this 180 gallon tank...and one female. During breeding they will posture and flair. Here's the breeding male. Very unusual to see such beautiful trailers on either of a pair of breeding cichlids. These do...and as I recall, so did the adult fish we caught in Honduras....in the wild. Very cool.

Here's the breeding male.

The pair of A. hogaboomorum are breeding again. I was photographing the pair as they were flashing alongside. And by luck caught this pose. Female on top...male behind.

Looking good Mo. The four that I picked up from you have settled in well. I'm looking forward to them getting some size on them.

Looking forward to seeing pictures.

Nope. A cousin from Honduras. Lights? It's a daylight bulb that I buy frow Lowes. Nothing special.

Tossed your updated Video of these guys on the FB page Mo. They are looking amazing. Just another Amphilophus I would love to set up a tank for, but I am due for orders anytime now. Don't need more tanks to break down and fish to move.:(


Thanks Scott. And these guys aren't going anywhere. I always have fry when you are ready. Just be safe dude.
