I don't often get as excited as I am with this batch of photos.
The Honduran Managuense are breeding yet again. This time around I allowed access to the female. She visited for a few hours and laid eggs that night. She generally hides the wiggler in the far corner until they are free swimming. I didn't pay that much attention to the amount of wigglers. I went down today to find an AMAZING number of fry.
Here's the female with a batch of the fry. Thre is literally three times this amount in two other places in the tank. I've never seen a spawn as large.

And here's the amazing part...I was fortunate enough to have the fry gather at the front of the glass.

Now for the cool part:
