Hey Mick! The way you describe the planned furnishing of the tank sounds like a well-suited environment for them. I don't think they require a bigger tank to breed, but their behaviour during the first few days should probably give you an idea of how they feel. If they appear to be very shy and hide...

Thanks for your kind words and congrats to you as well Frank! BotiaMaximus - thank you! And you're in for a treat when you visit, the scenery here is quite amazing ;) A little update from my tank! A few minutes ago I saw the first youngsters :D And WOW do they grow fast!! One of them is already well...

The spawning happened just as I was leaving the house today, and when I returned home I couldn't see the eggs on the glass anymore. However, there may be more spread around the tank.

Yeah, it sure looks interesting whatever it is. I'm more of a pl*co enthusiast myself, thats why I keep a close eye on that site, among others. With pl*cos, the Japanese sell each individual for a certain price, depending on it's beauty. The more striking, the more expensive they are. Pl*cos, and I'...

Hi all, I came across this at a Japanese site, and I find it really nice.
