Nice. What an eye candy.

Mine started doing the dance again last night. I thought that they might have spawned during the night and the pleco got the eggs (as usual). But as it turns out she started laying eggs this afternoon. And perfect timing because I got rid of 2 of the 3 males this morning to Edcal, and the big nasty egg eating gibbiceps. Thanks again Ed!!!! Maybe this time the eggs will have a chance to hatch.

Congrats! I left the fry with the parents for 4 weeks the first time, and it was a lot of fun to watch.
