the female, she is in the process of tearing all the little plant pieces off of her rock. Im glad she doesnt like them because frankly neither do i.

here they are just after they claimed their rock. The funny thing is that its actually the firemouths rock but he lives inside the cave and the ciebals seem to have no interest in the inside. Poor firemouth doesnt like this much, It should solve itself when i add some more rocks and driftwood tomorrow.

And heres one of some tapajos and the firemouth that is very curious about the new tankmates and is following them all over the place.

Cute photos. Could be they already have figured out that rock is a good spawning site.

Nice looking fish.

that is a very good possibility hobbs, i was told they were due to spawn any day now.

Sweet new additions! How big are the ciebals?

[coolingeffect]

they are actually huge, the male is pushing 8 inches, i didnt even know they got that big, the female is only about 5.5 but still i thought that 6 was a good sized male. Very mellow and cool, although i think the male is going to solve the problem i have with those 5 star generals being too agressive (i know bad choice but they were small so i tried it), they keep trying to gang up on the female and he does NOT like that. If i cant get rid of them soon i have a feeling they are going to suffer his wrath.
