I have three convicts. The male spawned with the female I had previously and ditched his partner that I bought with him. I should get some danios as dither fish but the female isn't fanning her eggs all that much so we will see how it goes.

Very much so, thanks!

So with the new lighting for the tank I decided perhaps a background was in order. Now it is blue not the suggested red... That is because the only spray paint I could find was blue. So here it is.

Looking good.
My suggested red was not a serious one  ;), it was to go along with the Valentine date  :)

Ahahaha oh man I'm naive sometimes. I was thinking how nice the red and green would contrast :P

Did you spray paint the tank with water in it? What kind of paint did you use?

I used Krylon Fusion on mine and the results were awesome but it sure made a mess, even if I "newspapered" all the sides. I missed a little gap somewhere and ended up with "paint dust" inside the tank that I had to remove and properly clean.

I like the dark blue, it's nice.

Although now I'm curious and want to see what it would look like with a red background LOL

Nice work on the tank, keep it up.

bettabreeder

I had panels of wood from a tv stand kicking around that I painted. It's krylon spray paint. Took half hour of cutting and painting max.

Looking good, eggs are still there, good sign!

bettabreeder

Definitely a good sign. Saw the father pick off a couple of unfertilized eggs this morning but the majority of them are still there

Update: took out the cabomba as it was starting to melt a bit. Added a touch of HM. Both parents have been busy at work making caves. The female has dug a cave under the driftwood which is really cool.

Update: almost all the eggs have been moved to the cave under the piece of driftwood. The parents are both busy rushing in and out of the cave.
