The male is about 12"...very nice trailing fins. They breed consistently in a 180 gallon tank. One other "third wheel" male Hog and a very beat up Synspilum...whom I call "Pugsly"...there is also a small Pleco...no idea on species.



I have several pots in the tank of varying sizes...more to provide shelter if things get rough.  The pair have always bred in the maroon pot on the right.  I had thought about removing that to see if they would pick an alternate site. I've found that you always stand a chance of upsetting the natural balance of harmony between the tank mates by removing or changing the landscape drastically...so I let it be.



Just prior to breeding the pair will have a little turf war with the male on the other side of the tank. I get a kick when I see the female swimming way over to the bachelor's pot..displaying.  The other male responds...either out of frustration or desire.  "Pugsly" was there to act as a target fish, but lately has been courting the bachelor Hog.  That poor guy can't get a break.  All dressed up and no where to go. LOL

Yes.  The fish are both F0.  I brought them back from Honduras where they are endemic to the Rio Cholteca.  They are closely related to the A. citrinellum.

@enginkoc34...I understand.  No, that doesn't offend me.  I do lots of things that don't look natural in a fishtank.

Thank you Mo, for informing. Do you have URLs you feed a dwarf cichlid South America at the moment?
