COUNT DOWN TO FERTLIZATION

[hunterbeav]

Hi all my wife and I just took this pair out of the 75 gal community tank 2 days ago. Well this is our first attempt at the real thing. We did let them spawn 4 times in the 75 and the last attempt was really close but the other fish came in and ate the eggs. The pair did try to defend but there were just to many to ward off lol. So will post more info as it goes, ALL SYSTEMS ARE GO HOUSTON, STANDING BY !!!

Thank you all for the nice comments were really proud of them. They are 10 mths old and 7 inches to the base of the tail measuring lol, the female is actually a little bigger then the male she's about 7 1/4 lol I know i know a whole 1/4 inch but if you c them side by side you really can see the differance
