Wild Manacapuru Blues Spawned
I came home from work to a little surprise. I recently moved a group of fish out my 77 Gal because because there were 2 pairs in these showing signs of spawning. They are still going through all the motions, but nothing yet. The group I moved out decided to have a party of their own.

This happened some time between Wednesday night and today.
ph 4.9 - 5.0
TDS 80
Temp 85 F
Nothing special done to the water, just regular water changes straight from the tap (municipal water supply) using safe.

Killer pair too! Amazing color!
Re: Wild Manacapuru Blues Spawned
Thanks, it took me by surprise. There are too many other fish with them for any real chance at raising them, but at least I might get to see if they hatch and confirm the pair. So far they take turns staying with the eggs and fiercely chase away anyone that comes near.

Len a beautiful pair with terrific colours.But laying eggs is just the beginning.......Hope the rest will follow.Good luck with them.:)
Re: Wild Manacapuru Blues Spawned
Beautiful pair of blues indeed.
Re: Wild Manacapuru Blues Spawned
I absolutely agree, but until they lay eggs there's nothing and up until now just getting this far was seeming unlikely.
