That is so beautiful pair! They are so lovely pattern... That is my taste! nice job...

If the male did not run on the eggs, he is not ready.. Give him another chance when he will run on the eggs.

Thanks all. Problem with video is theres no place to set the tripod infront of this tank. I will try but, not sure how plausible it is.

Thanks all. Eric, I got the sponge thanks! Meant to send you a message the other day but got caught up laying sod in the front yard...once you start you basically have to finish or else it dies haha.

Sounds like my results, but I try hard as hell to keep them alive!

Well I have to report that this pair is going through a divorce.....or at least a little time apart. Came home and found the female huddling in a corner, dark and the male beating her to a pulp for whatever reason. Took the male out, now its time for the female to get some rest and heal. We'll see if they make up later on, if not maybe i'll pair out with other fish.

Sorry to hear Matt, maybe some time apart will get them closer. ;)

Matt, sorry about this. I have had this happen many times. I hope they make up one day.

The good thing is, I know I have a confirmed Male and Female...I use this knowledge to draw out other fish's sex when it can't fully be determined lol
