Hi, they are in a hang on breeder box. I got very lucky catching the female while she was holding, was a sheer fluke lol.Fantastic update
- where are the babies?
(I never manage to rescue the babies when they're finally spit )
They are in a hang on breeder box. I got lucky and the female all but swam into my net when I was catching pencil fish. She had been holding for a while and it took a few days more for her to release.Fantastic update

They are awfully argumentative aren't they? I got my female out with only a couple of days to go. And after the first one swallowing eggs I hadn't been going to bother trying with this one. She was holding fry though which I've found mouth brooders seem less likely to swallow. I'm still in France but hubby showed me the fry box yesterday and there is still fry so fingers crossed they keep doing OK. When I get back home i will be starting on scaping the 240l for these fish. I may leave a couple of females and a male in the old tank and then remove the male if the female is holding. My large adult choco has had to go live in with the discus as it is so violent towards other chocos apart from the female it paired up with.I moved a chubby faced female to a nursery tank ... she got stressed & swallowed (I assume)
She likely still had a week to go
Seems every time I try to "rescue" one of my choco's that I think might want some alone time (from the resident chaos tyrant) all I see is a stress ghost version
- though must admit current shoal is nothing like that previous group of battling S osphromenoides (?)
but they also don't display anything like the colours of that extraordinary group either (unfortunately that transhipper is MIA so not likely to get more of the same)
You're right they are fascinating fish, but a bit like Marmite tho'.Fascinating fish!
Kinda like Kenneth Williams...They have really long nostrils that they can point in any direction
