My smallest pair of the red head tapajo is holding the 2nd batch of eggs now. i notice only the male is holding the eggs in his mouth, the female only help in defending their "ground".

they have 15 fries in the 1st batch

I only have 2 species of EE.

They look better in darker based tank but coloration are getting nicer as they aged.
