They seem to be moving the gravel a lot, I'm hoping they are getting used to each other and maybe making a nest.
I will keep everyone posted on the progress.

It's ok Phu, we just want to see the pair. Especially before they tear each other apart during courtship.

Woke up Sunday and looked at the plate around 10am, no eggs but her tube dropped.
As I was watching Nascar (around 11:30) she started laying. She continued to lay for about an hour.
I had family come over for my dads birthday. Left the fish alone for a while to make sure the male did his thing.
Transferred the plate to a 10gl around 6 or 7pm.
Took several pictures, will post them once I get home from work!

Really, just 20? She got really fat, been feeding both of them Hikari Cichlid Bio-Gold and a lot of market shrimp. I also think she is a regular BP but still uncertain lol

Whats the latest bro.How many fry and can you take pictures yet
AnthonyV
Oct 22 2009, 06:41 AM
Thanks for all the great comments everyone!
They are so small and swim so much that it's hard to get a good count. I stop counting after 20 so I'm guessing there's about 30 fry. I removed the plate of unhatched eggs to get a better view.
I will try and get some pics today after work.
