A rather poor picture of a Mendezi gold female guarding her brood.

Will try to get a better picture in time of the fries and the male, as the fries can't really be seen due to the colour contrast.

Wow bro, congratulations...!
You are one lucky man striking the jackpot...

Some updates to one of the batches of fries my pair has provided.

My pride and joy, a subadult mendezi.
I noticed some red blood throat markings characteristics on these batch of fries.
Can anyone confirm this?

Wow. Missed this thread! A difficult apisto to breed coz they are excellent egg eaters. Nice!

hi bro, my friend has a batch of fry and they've all grown up to have red throats, just like yours.

Thanks Genes. I covered up as much of the tank as i can when they were brooding so that might have been one of the factors that helped prevent egg eating.

Oh, i didnt observe any red throats in the parents hence i was surprised that their young had them. Thanks for the tip Jitt.
