Only a few people know about this, as I've been keeping it quiet for fear of the previous "Letting TFF Know Jinx"... 
My foerschi male is holding! He's due to release any day! 
This is big news, my friends. 
They spawned early last week, I forget what day, so any time now... he's in the release tank. I am so excited, as he has swallowed a good 10 spawns and I had written him off as a chronic egg swallower. 
Yey!! Finally a good boy!! 
As I'm going to soon have some foerschi fry (unless by some freak accident this post does them in), I decided to spawn my falx again and raise them together.
Also decided to do this because in the past few weeks my female has become depressed - I honestly think she was having a horrible time seeing her lover but not being able to get to him. 
Anyways, they got down to business and spawned today. The interesting part that I got so excited about? She spits the eggs to him, AND she has a mouth pouch too! She had a good 10+ eggs in her mouth and was randomly spitting them to him between wraps and such. It was incredibly beautiful. My foerschi don't do that - the male picks up the eggs, and I had missed the early spawns with my falx, so this was awesome. Dad is currently being AWESOME! He's tumbling every few seconds, gently lovin' on Mom still, and just all around being a great pops. He's wonderful.
Here's a few pics of both daddies, for those who haven't seen my wilds.

Is daddy (foerschi) still holding?
