It just occurred to me that last time this female *spawned* (with at different male) the eggs were about twice the size and pink! They were in a tank with about half a dozen bristle nose plecos, and - go figure - bristle nose eggs are relatively large and pink! Maybe that's why they were eaten! Anyway, she is still guarding and bright yellow. So far so good! :-) Jason Miller Sherwood Park, AB ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@majordomo.pobox.com.
