Wondering if one of the settings isn’t working properly ... I can look through all of them later if it’s happening to others too.

On my ipad the words "Whats up Gil?" shows up and the a box with the jpg info. I wonder if its because there is no spacing between the wording and the pictures? If I go into the post as a moderator on my ipad, then I see the picture just fine.
Edit, went in and added a space between the words and picture post, no change. Just acting strange on the ipad.

When I initially loaded the page I only saw the file description. Once I refreshed the page the picture loaded in each post.
Weird, but I appreciate the feedback. We will have to watch to see if it’s a glitch or just a specific one in that post
And some more shots of the growing group. Nothing to exciting yet. My largest bated midas has spawned with a female hoga, and now he won't let her in the pot. Two of my orange midas have paired off, as two others are constantly going back and forth sizing each other up. The Devils are all growing nicely, some changing color some staying barred. And lastly the Hoga are just hanging out.
Thanks to @bad-daddio i will soon be trading one of my barred midas pairs for this amazing pair of Labiatus. And daddio, if you scroll to the top of this thread you'll see that Rio Tempesque female i mentioned to you.
@Madness, the fish you are getting from @bad-daddio, are those the TUIC Isla Zapatera, Lago Nicaragua big lipped?
They originally came from Ken Davis, now the story i am hearing is that the Zapatera that TUIC has are offspring from my old big lipped male and the original big lipped Labs Rapps brought in a few years back. Cichlidstrainhunter informed me of the background of those, now i am not sure if these from Ken Davis came from all this or if he has his own line going from the ones Rapps brought in. I am going to do my best to find out.
the little ones that i already have are descendents from my old male.bad-daddio

This picture might show up a little more clear. I'm going to be sad to see her go. I grew them out from about .75 inches and there was a group of 20 of them. From very early on, she was the bad ass and ran the show. As the group thinned down to this pair and as the male outgrew her, of course the table flipped but she still won't back down from him unless he gets really crazy, like after a water change. That's the only time she ever uses her pipe (that he can't fit into). But she's never there long. You have to love her "love scars" down her back. She got those while she was learning that she really does need to hide in her pipe once in a while!
They really are a great pair but in the end I'm just not a red devil guy - I like midas better.
Shawn - They are showing pre spawn behavior and are starting to lip lock quite a bit. I'm going to throw a divider in this afternoon so she doesn't get any rougher.

I spoke with another Labiatus keeper back east today. He believes that Kens wild may have come from Rusty or Jeff and the f2s came from Chris Rounds which is where about 50 of mine went to. It's possible that Chris spawned one of his Rapps wilds with my f1s. Hard to say, but they look sweet. I'm going to do some creative pairing amongst my group to try and get me some stunners.
Well Gil failed to fertilize the eggs so no chancho fry on first try.
But the new Labiatus i received from @bad-daddio have spawned already and it looks like it may have been a success.

Looks like the new devil pair is guarding some wigglers. Not sure if i will be saving these or not. Gil and his misses is about to attempt to have a successful batch. Attempt #4 . My female isletas continues to hor out with whatever fish shows an interest, lol. Then there are the orange midas, i think i may be moving a few, just not liking the look of them yet. 2 of them are probably 7" and are just blah looking. Anyway here are some update photos. 
a batch of devil fry, male was black barred, female was big lipped and orange
These few are from the first spawn of the pictured pair above.
