Cuong Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Howdy all, You may or may not recognise these guys from this thread, but these two were originally from that tank. They paired up fairly quickly and every so often tried to spawn amongst the caviar lovers in the tank. Touched by their futile efforts I decided they needed their own space, so that gave me an excuse to setup a couple of 2fters. They lay consistently now, every 2 weeks, but the male isn't doing his part of the equation Hopefully he'll learn with time, but for now here's a couple of updated pictures of the couple: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Wombat Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Good portraits there Schmuck. Are you using a flash above the tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuong Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 Thanks everyone! Addicted2cichlids, They use a DIY spawning tile, however I've taken it out and given them a little break. Willy Wombat, Thanks mate! Yeah I've got the 580EX over the top with a DIY flash box, it's almost like a cookie-cutter approach to aquatic photography (emulating most APF members ).

Cuong Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 Sorry mate, they were sent up to my brother's house. Although my brother did say they spawned for the first time in RO water so fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
