I don't get it

What is that on the rock?

 

[Dwarfs]

That is it. Those two rainbow cichlids were in there since sunday (it's tuesday), and they already spawned. That is how you can tell you have happy fish, when they get comfortable enough to breed.

OMG THEY LAID EGGS!!!

 

[Dwarfs]

They are succesfully keeping the eggs safe from the two large firemouths and the other rainbow cichlid, they are very good parents

The spot in the middle is rust, the spot to the side is the eggs I would get5 a better picture, but I don't want to spook them and have them eat there own eggs
