My A. agassizi alenquer have spawned, the female tonight was escorting a sizable cloud of fry in the tank. I have suspected she was guarding eggs for a while now, but of course it was right at the back of the tank and I couldnt see into the area.

Today she is in full brood colours, with the lateral line fading to just display the bright lateral dot. Partner relations seem to be holding up, the male mostly keeps to the front half of the tank and she just nudges him away if he gets too close.

Pics to follow - i took some but not sure if you can actually see any fry.

Tank setup - 60cm x 30cm x 30cm, pure rainwater. 1cm layer of sand, some driftwood, and a mix of plane tree leaves and loquat leaves.

PS: and i think the A. baenschi have spawned again

As promised here are some pics of the female agassizi and the fry - those small black dots !

There are quite a few of them, more than 40, and so far she is still being good to the male.
