This should also become more obvious when the 2 males start to do the head to toe (pardon - caudal fin) dance. Have fun, Ingo Proud Member of the New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club

LITTLE_FISH *** Little Fish *** Master of Something Posts: 7303 Kudos: 1997 Votes: 670 Registered: 20-May-2005	Edited by LITTLE_FISH Yes they are sk8, If you would like to learn more about their breeding habits and what to do to protect the fry, read the 51 pages of my 125G log in the Planted Tank section . In short, they eat the eggs and the frey, if they find them. Ingo Proud Member of the New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club

I see my females doing that same thing every now and then, along with being chased by males etc. Never seen any eggs though. On the other hand, I'll be incredibly jealous if your harlies breed right off the bat, whereas mine have never done it after a year and a half. Dang $%^! @!%^ rasboras! I give you brine shrimp, 50% water changes and all the plants you can get, and still nothing! What more do you want, shag carpets, mood lighting and Barry White?!?! Back in the saddle!*

LITTLE_FISH *** Little Fish *** Master of Something Posts: 7303 Kudos: 1997 Votes: 670 Registered: 20-May-2005	Sorry to hear that sk8, Harlies are usually pretty hardy and it takes quite a bit for them to cave in. Any idea about your tank parameters? If you are most certain that it is cycling related then perform a 30% water change (no vacuuming of gravel) now.
