They’re beauties, Toxo! Time to start a new batch.

Thanks Brewster but I won't do it again. Got too much going on and I never have had a tank with lots of fish swimming around. My thing was always a single pair. People with community tanks don't know what they're missing. I've bred Dwarf Gouramis in 8 inches of water and watched them build a bubble nest and care for the babies that are so small you get eye strain just looking for em they're that small. Watch a pair of Tilapia Mozambique (mouthbrooders). He'll scoop up great mouthfuls of gravel when nest building and spray it all over the glass. You won't see them do the deed but you know when her lower jaw droops she's got eggs in there. When the time is right and there's no danger around she spits out a black cloud of babies and if she suspects any danger she sucks em all back up like a hoover. Wonderful. The pinnacle is breeding Discus. What a beautiful fish and to watch em going through all the motions has to be seen and more devoted parents you'll not find.

Of course none of this can happen in a community tank and if it did the other fish would eat the eggs.

I'll try to do a better vid, don't know what happened with that one but it isn't right.
