Well, I have no new pics to post (yet) but I do have a report.. I came home to find the female missing. I looked, and I looked, and I looked, but couldn't find her. My daughter, who was getting worried about "wife", asked me where the new one came from. New one? What new one? So she pointed out what I'd been overlooking. 1 female Cutteri, in full breeding stripes hiding in the big driftwood cave I built up for her to escape into. The male can get in, but he can't go in as fast as she can, so it's a good escape pod for her.. Anywho, looks like mom and pop are about to get up to their old ways again. The male has been bringing mouthfulls of gravel out of the cave. Color me excited..
Oh and I'm amazed at the color morph this fish has gone through. Can't wait to get a photo to share. NOTHING is being allowed near the cave, including loaches, catfish, the juvenile cutters, and the algae magnet..
