Tank looking great Stephen. So clean looking, and love the big shoal of Reed Tetras, stunning mate.

Ian + Karen.

Just checked my aquarium and I have pleco eggs.
The eggs are just outside one of the caves and stuck to a loose piece of root.
I will keep an eye on them.

The eggs came to nothing, probably eaten by other fish.
I'm not surprised as the eggs were not laid in the cave and therefore not guarded by the male.

Another observation:
Two of the Cupid Cichlids (Biotodoma cupido) have paired up.
There is a large pit in the sand which was created overnight (I done a water change yesterday and cleaned and flattened the sand).
A large male is guarding the pit area and defending the area from the other large male (the other male is actually slightly larger).
A female sits in the pit in the sand (most of the time).
There is no sign of eggs.
I do have 2 male and 2 female Cupid Cichlids and have seen this happen with previous Cupid Cichlids.
