    Update they're laying eggs. Hopefully the eggs don't get eaten as there is two large Bristlenoses and lots of other fish in the tank.

    Geophagus Tapajos 'red head' fry. They released the fry on Christmas day and the fry is all still doing well.

    They're currently carrying another batch of eggs which should be release in 8 to 10 days.

    Please excuse the ADA everywhere, algae and their lack of colour due to being stressed. It's stressful being new parents after all

    @Chandz - very nice.
    One always has a sense of achievement when one raises some fry.

    Can't believe I only saw this thread now. How about an update? Love the choice of plants shown in the first post.
