Hemichromis guttatus spawn!

[chriscoli]

My Hemichromis guttatus have been spawning in a community tank about every week or so and I haven't bothered to try to siphon out any fry as of yet. They finally spawned where I can see them, so maybe I'll be able to remove the coconut hut that the eggs are on. We'll see!

(And yes, these are H. guttatus.....Anton confirmed that for me)

Very impressive! Beautiful fish, too.

They are lovely! I hope you get some fry.

Stunning fish!

last few batches didn't make it but apparently they spawned somewhere in the tank that I couldn't see....babies everywhere tonight!

Very nice. The reds are great in the parents.

I think these are by far the brightest red of all of the jewels that I have.

Nice. I think the lifalili I got from you are almost to breeding size. I'm starting to see a lot of territorial posturing and nipped fins on other tank mates.

I managed to grab a few of these before they succumbed to the other tank's occupants during this last spawn. They're sucking down microworms like there's no tomorrow!

I'll post a better pic when I've got the good camera downstairs.

 

[mchambers]

Cool!

I got some of the lifalili as well - they were out and about the other day with lots of displaying and activity
