Nicest trimac pair I have seen man. Great fishes, where'd you get them from?

so niceeeeee

 

[Norbert]

about an hour later she started laying eggs and he did his best to fertilize them through the divider
the female laying eggs...







stuffed the camera back between two tanks and guesstimated where she was, this is the best pic I could get of her actually laying the eggs

the male, I like his smokey colors, he lost interest in trying to fertilize the eggs about half way through, probably because I was taking pics


some pics of the eggs next

 

[Norbert]

some pics of the eggs, had to turn her rock to get these and even though she's only about 6 inches she can bite pretty hard



proud mom with her eggs








thanks for looking
