I didn't get any babies from their first spawn but they are at it again and
seem capable of keeping everyone else at bay. This time, however, when they
chase all the other fish to the opposite end, there will be a pair of
Keyholes with eggs waiting for them. I dont expect casualties but there may
be a lot of torn fins. BTW, the Keyholes spawned as soon as the pH dipped
below 6. None of my fish were spawning for a while there but now, most of
them are at it. May be it is the weather, may be it's the water changes or
may be just amore.

i'm starting to think L. thayeri really need spacious, quiet quarters for
them to feel comfortable and start a family. i'm sorry all my tanks are
community tanks and i can't dedicate a large enough tank for them.

You guys need to talk to Pete Johnson he's a Laetacara expert. Two years ago
I got him some Orangeflossen, he spawned them right away.
