My profile pic is the male.  I couldn't find him this morning, then I saw the female.  She looked dramatically skinner than she did last night.  So I checked under the small piece of flower pot that I have in there for them to spawn under and sure enough...there's Mr. White Cheek and cluster of eggs on the roof of the flower pot!!!

Now I'm trying to decide how to deal with this.  The last tie I left them alone, I never saw any babies and they were in a species tank.  This time, they're in a community tank.  I'm tempted to take them out but I have a fry of my own due any day.

Does anyone have any microworm cultures I can start my own culture from?

Thanks!  Will post on BAP as well.  Here are a couple of pics.  Excuse the lack of focus...never was much good at close up fish photos :)

You can see the male's head peeking out from under the flower pot piece...that's the black thing that looks like a rock.  He's in full colour now!!

I started a thread in the BAP section.  I added some more pics tonight of how I've separated them from the parents and community tank, plus a fantastic close up of the spawn!
