Well not even a week of having my new dwarf cichlids it seems they didnt waste anytime in breeding had a look this morning and I noticed the female was a completely different colour to what she was,then I noticed what she was guarding.sorry the photo isn't great but it's the best I could do.

Congrats
Hope they manage to hatch and raise them for you, really interesting watching parents look after the fry

It can take a few goes for them to get it right, so don't panic if they disappear.
If at first you don't succeed....
...get someone else to do it!
Enjoy your fish, shrimps and snails!

Just a wee update on the tank, firstly I have had to move the male dwarf cichlid as he was taking a beating from both females(may need to take one female back to lfs) and was very poorly but looking alot better now and he is eating so good sign for him, as for the females both had eggs and hatched but they have disappeared now(to be expected)
The tank did go through an algae bloom of some sort but fine now also there are 9 amano shrimp in there aswell thou very difficult to spot at times,all 22 neons doing great aswell, I feel the plants are really starting to fill out aswell did a trim the other day to promote new growth it really does work a treat, so things are doing well in the tank for now thanks for reading.

The Monte Carlo has really spread out and the rasboras are lovely!!
Hopefully the Male cichlid will be ok, the females are so mean especially when they’ve got eggs.

Good luck with the Celestial Pearl Danios.....
Galaxy rasbora is longer relevant, it was used when they were first found as they didn't know whether they were rasbora or danio. They are danio.
