I know, i have been watching them all the time, i was even up at 6 this morning and just sat and watched them for probs an hour, I bought them purposly to let them breed. The fish store i got them from is going to take the fry once their about an inch big.

Looking forward to it... I feel awful when i walk in the room and they scatter lol

Well i'm not sure how old these two are, but there not fully grown, from past experience i would say they were about a year, or even younger they've only been paired up about a month, so guessing not too old.

i've made a make shift filter thing lol, i've cut up an old net and tied it around the bottom of the filter so the young dont get sucked up.

More pics for you

just been chatting with missus biffster about this she seems
to think they will start breeding anything from six months to a year old

i know within the last hour or so they are like different fish completly, they are out all the time, not hiding anymore and also they have been pecking at the rock that layed down and moving all the stones out of the way of it.

They are also like shimmying along side the rock i dont know if thats anything to do with it or there just cleaning it.
