My pair of Inca Stone Fish (http://www.cichlidae.com/gallery/genus.php?g=Tahuantinsuyoa) bred on a piece of PVC pipe yesterday. The eggs weren't there this AM so they're either guarding the wigglers somewhere or they're gone.
The pair is in a 2'x2'x1' tank with a bunch of Gymnogeos. I could tell that they bred because they got really bright turquoise lines on them and were acting aggressively. Lo and behold, about 15-20 big golden eggs.
They're delayed, bi-parental mouthbrooders, which ,means that they guard the eggs on the substrate first...and then both parents hold the eggs. Pretty cool.
They're in about the least accessible photographable tank in the fishroom so you'll have to take my word for it. If I can catch them, they should get their own 15g to try to raise some fry (next time)...
