now males guarding the cave with 2 females around each side of the caves

fingerscrossed.

though stupid peppermint and other bristlenose i have sometimes kicks out the male so might be time for a species tank

Hello everyone, for the last 2months I wanted to make a nice cave for these little critters. I was tossing between slatecaves or caves made from clays kilned. I couldn't find a decent kilner in sydney so i opted for the slate design. BUT i couldn't find any decent slates, so i bought a bunch of tile...

all you gotta look at is the face shape...

its a girl for sure.

its probably trying to go into the cave to spawn and males stopping her... 100% sign of breeding

MONEY!

I have take this photo today. Its been about a year since I have obtained these babies when they were about 4-5cm (geeze they are slow growers!) They are about 7cm (smallest) and the biggest being 7.5cm http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v357/gianniz/jan2006/IMG_1294.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/al...
