how are the eggs? whats going on with them

i would love some of the fry

[Johno1982]

Well sadly the eggs didnt survive the water change but i'm hopful that they will go again soon. and once they do i'll be setting up my fry tank and will let you know once they are on the go if you like. I'm away until tuesday but i'll upload some new pics shortly.

2 males are jaw locking big time and the big female stays in her cave mostly with the big male could be a good thing

Males are looking good. Do the girls ever turn the colour on ?

What size are they now

[Johno1982]

Lol males are nice and they all follow you from side to side female's do put the colour on when they want to bit tempramentle but not going blood red but deep orange/red with nice black stripes their heads and below their jaw goes bright res though. Males are about 12-14cm and females are about 10-12cm
