well, it's been about 4 hours after i saw their first embrace, the female has been removed. and the male seeems to be tending to the nest okay, but lets keep our fingers crossed!

females hapilly back in her 1.5g next to my other males. Going to kepe her here for a few days and give her a break before putting her back in her tank. She's such a pig, just released her about 2 mins ago and she's already eaten 6 pellets! must have been a little hungry

as for the spawn, the mommy was red too so i expected to see some reddish coloring to them -_-
