    Nannacara anomala are starting to colour up as you can see from the most dominant male.

    Hey chandz, how's the geophagus going.

    I recently replaced my substrate with fine play sand and it would be perfect. Currently tank has one green terror.

    Hi, so sorry for the delayed response, I somehow miss notifications.

    I sold all my Geos around 2 or 3 years ago, but I would definitely not recommend keeping them with green terrors.

    After finally setting up a breeding tank for them last week, I noticed the N. anomala female with fry last night.

    @Chandz

    Is he in the breeding box to keep him away from the female and fry ?

    No, that's a different male and he was in a viewing box so I could take a quick video. I never use breeding boxes as I mostly leave the male in with the female. I also prefer to remove the male or make circular dividers if necessary.

    Ah, ok
    I guess with cichlids, the male is involved with parental care.
