Hi guys

Yep...biparental...I think the female is bigger than the male

Ive got my fish setup in either a 3 x2 or a 6 x 2 tank...the breeding was in the 6 x 2..theres three fish in there, i suspect 2 males and one female.

The larger fish held for the first few days and then they swapped around, very frequently both would be holding...

I feed a variety of foods, flake, pellets, live and frozen food.

I saw free swimming fry very briefly at about 14 days so i stripped both of them (they were both holding fry)

The tank is setup ith fine sand, a few clumps of larger rocks and a few tunnels made out of PVC pipe...the preferred tunnel seems to be some rectangular downpipe...one end is blocked with rocks and the other is partially covered with rocks

I find them here and there...chat to people...ask people questions etc...sometimes Ill get one fish from here and one from there and make up pairs etc
