Nice looking fish, have they ever bred for you?

[mgarrido]

Thanks Al, they are always laying eggs but our water is to hard. i'm planning the next year move a pair to a small tank with RO water and see what happend.

you dont HAVE to use RO water to breed these. I know that Dan had bred them without it. you can use things to soften the water.

Great looking fish. I think it would really cool if you had a fairly tall pile of rocks in just one corner to add some height to the tank. (just my 2 cents)

Good looking tank! As always, you make it look soooo easy. :)

I would try with a pillow softener but the main issue is the time for take care of the fry. Sometime of the next year i'm sure that i will do it.

Yeah, i will try the pile of rock (or a tall swords) idea in the left corner.
