Tefe Wars

[Second Hand Pat]

I removed the foam totally from the 230 to return it to a display tank and OMG, War exploded between the three males.

Stand off

Fantastic pics Pat! Hope they get it worked out without any damage to each other. Did the females just watch and laugh at them??

Barb, the one breeding female egged them on. Two of three males would liplock and the female would flare at the remaining male. She is in some of the pictures. She is showing two faint bars.

Yea those eyes turn really red...mad eyes.

I'd almost forgotten how cool your tank looks.

Me too Keith, it had this big green thing in since January.

great photos!

[Second Hand Pat]

Thanks Trish :)

Female stuck in the middle of three guys. Oh what to do. The far right is shimmying to her and the one in the middle (rear of the tank) is too and is the original mate. I am repairing one of the background panels. It bowed and wants to pop out of place.

looks like the one on the far right already has a nice home prepared. If she's a gold-digger he's got the most spacious home.

Pete, I too hope she chooses the far right male. So far she is undecided.

[Keith Perkins]

But rumor has it he's the leading candidate at the moment. :D

[Second Hand Pat]

For sure Keith, they both have breeding tubes lowed when the tank lights went out. There are a couple of videos in the spawn thread.

[dpete9]

Sweet... She went for the bling!

Will know for sure by tomorrow I believe Pete.

[Keith Perkins]

That hussy could change her mind by the morning! :D

[dpete9]

HUSSY LOL.. I have a blue turq I call horny She has spawned every 4-5 days (when she doesn't have fry on her) for 1/2 yrs straight, with every adult I have including her sister.. Girls can be so fickle!

[Keith Perkins]

Maybe there's more than one reason they call them Wilds!

[Eddie]

Aw thanks Eddie, if these two I hope pair up they are the best in the tank with very decent shapes and beautiful colors.

I had a female Angel like that..named her Jenna and her partner Tito lol

[dpete9]

So Pat did they do it yet?

[Second Hand Pat]

So Pat did they do it yet?

Not yet Pete, still thinking about it I guess. Breeding tubes are still lowed, guess they are still checking in with the air traffic controller ;)

[dpete9]

HA HA HA Coming in for a landing!

[Second Hand Pat]

We have landing and still on going.

[Keith Perkins]

Cool Beans! With the desired mate I presume. Yours that is.

[dpete9]

Totally, have vids too. First time I watched the spawning event

[Keith Perkins]

Well enjoy then, just don't interrupt them too much.

[Second Hand Pat]

I didn't and they are fanning the eggs now. The videos are dark but watchable and uploading now.
