These guys will not stop laying eggs. I removed the piece of slate and they would lay on top of the L168's pot. Pity that they would eat the eggs.

They're in a 4x18x18, subdivided with large greenhorseface pair on the other side (with Corys). Apparently, I would need to remove all the sand and malaysian trumpet snails or give them a separate tank of their own. At the moment, the male rigorously defends the partition wall. I'm of the mind to remove the eggs and artficially raise them.

pigeon base? are we all looking at the same pic or has the pic been changed? The one up right now looks like a tank bred wild... something of an brown/alenquer/curipera type thing, i like them!

Beautiful fish !

Give them a tank of their own and next time they lay, cover the eggs with wire mesh, so they can still fan the eggs, but can't get near them to eat them. Hopefully the parenting instinct will kick in when they see the eggs hatch.

Fish like that are well worth breeding.

confirmed curipera X, for those curious...
