Duboisi and Ikola back again

Both colonies were in the same tank for awhile the got seperated because I picked the Duboisi colony. Now they are back together again. It's really interesting to watch. They tend to harrass their own and establish pecking order that way. There are 12 Ikola, 11 Duboisi, 2 clown loach and 4 synodontis petricola in my 75 gallon glass tank. Lots of fish for this size tank but it dilutes the aggression IMO.

I hope you enjoy watching

Yeah! I like the bubbler... lol.... your 5 ikola stripped from a first time female??? is that why the numbers so low, I thought they give about 10 -15 typically. Im glad they are breeding so well for ya though.... Your duboisi have the best coloring ever! must get those guys out to the public!

Yeah that was her first spawn. She held for 5 weeks before but I don't think I have enough rocks. I couldn't find the babies when she released so I stripped this time. Both colonies are from Vince so I have the duboisi parents of the babies you picked up.
