Nice one Dave:clap::clap:. Were you attempting to breed them or did it just happen?

Cheers

My L201 spawned for the first time a few months ago. I increased the current and lowered the water level to get more oxygen into the tank. I think there are two males and two females. They spawned again about a month later and I hope they are due again any day to repeat. The way I have it set up I cannot see the eggs and I already kicked out the eggs by looking last month. He took the eggs back and I do have two fry from that group. I got five fry the first time. The temp is 82F, the ph is 7.6 and the hardness is very high around 20 but I havn't tested that in awhile.
I posted this before on Plecofanatics but they died right after. I'm hoping I've found a new home here. I have a pair of long fin bushy nose calico that are breeding and some long fin browns and albinos that are breeding as well.
