Laetacara Dorsigera courtship

[jmf3460]

Here are two quick videos of my laetacara dorsigera (red breasted acara) showing some flaring and dancing directly after a cool water change. Their eggs never make it in this show tank with the tetras and corydoras looming around, but I always find it fun to watch them court. I do plan to breed them one day, am just letting them get a few spawns under their belt in the show tank before pulling them. As suspected, male is big one (and he is a fatty at that) and female is smaller more colored in the videos. Shout out to Ryan for having these as his avatar and turning me on to this genus.

Sorry for the disorientation of the first video, I am recently new to my own youtube account.
