I'll make it brief.

I bought a trio of Mbita Fucifers and put them in my 130 about 3 weeks ago. Last night I did a 60% water change and vacuumed all the gravel. I noticed that 1 of what I thought was a female started digging a pit. I said what the $#@!. The fish are 4" and sexable but I still thought that I got a reverse trio. I woke in the morning and found them going in circles doin the breeding dance in the pit. I said to myself that maybe they are fighting for dominance. I came home from work and the female had a mouth full. My question is, has anyone ever seen a female feather fin dig a pit instead of the male?

I've never seen it with my haps, but that's certainly remarkable!

Maybe the female just likes breeding a little too much?

I guess a female has to take charge sometimes if she want's to get a little.

if she starts making sandwhiches, and doing laundry i would say she's a keeper. Awesome setup by the way! How's that male mbita i dropped off doing? Did you give him a date?

No date yet. This weekend he'll be in the mix. The Tricoti are going to the 110.

thanx

im thinking about throwing my haplotaxodon microplepis up for sale. i want to make the 155 frontosa only. far too many frontosa spawns to wind up with no fry.
