Default Gymnogeophagus Caaguazuensis

Just got a pair from JZX this evening.

Reached home at 11pm, quickly let them out of the bag and into then tank after floating the bag for about 30min.

The male start showing off after a while. Quite a surprise as it was probably the most timid one at JZX. Got hammered by the rest of the females in the same tank.

About 2 hrs later, they started to breed.
But the male got pretty aggressive after the spawning process was over.
Starting to pick on the female. But things seems to settle down after a while, no more fighting.

Hopefully the female will pick up and mouth brood should the eggs become wriggles later.
Keeping my fingers crossed.

This species doesn't need colder water?

The female was obvious, it was the most aggressive one in the tank with the breeding tube showing.

The male was probably the last one in the tank.
The 'kok' forehead was 'missing', it was being push around by the rest of the fishes.

So the pair was more like tikam tikam.
