Fed live blackworms, frozen brine shrimp and bloodworms, no waterchanges in the 2 weeks that I've owned them (Purchased the group at the OCA), pH of 7.5, TDS of ~120, temp is 75F. Results are 2 females, 2 males spawning at the same time in the same flower pot. The link is of a pic I snapped this morning of the act. A female is in the top and the bottom of the cave and the males take turns going in and out. Don't know if the pic is a little blurry or it is just me after a 14hr shift. http://www.iwaynet.net/~ken1/fish_pics/new_pics/Borelli_orgy.JPG Off to try to take some better pics.
