Two mew species having a little meal. Can you guys tell what they are?
You’re not allowed to guess, @ajf_aquatics 😉
Btw- if you don’t already follow @ajf_aquatics, you’re missing out. Great guy and great taste in fish!

Geophagus pyrocephalus, formally known as “Red Head Tapajos”, female guarding eggs. Unfortunately, these were unfertilized but my group is still relatively young. Now that I know they’re ready, I can get them into a more suitable breeding setup

Upgraded the big guy and his last to a 5ft 120g and they’re loving it…but he’s still super angry and wants to murder me
Cribroheros longimanus pair guarding a new batch of free swimmers.
Parents are F1 Río San Juan
These two were on fire this morning, as there are a new batch of wrigglers about. We’ve had a couple of days of warmer weather, which has allowed me to open up the garage and get a lot of natural light in. I absolutely love these fish in natural lighting.
Parachromis multifasciatus
I don’t give her the shine that she deserves, so please enjoy this quick video of my female Rio Niltepec Trimac with some of her fry. I’m a big fan of watching my fish in natural light. Also, her highly abusive significant other makes an appearance 🤣
Hundreds of fry from my Trimac pair. Wow.

Second spawn from my young Cribroheros longimanus pair. The male ate the last batch as soon as they became wigglers, so this is clearly going a little better.
My big synspilum. Fingers crossed on a pair forming 🤞🤞
Again?!! This is their fourth spawn since mid-September and they have young fry (free swimming for 2-3 weeks) already in the tank, which I fully expect to predate on the new batch as soon as they become wrigglers. I’m going to let nature take its course, as I have plenty of fry already.
