Can you take some really bad, maybe out of focus, poorly lit, just really bad pics of your fish so that I can post some pics that won't look awful compared to yours! :lol:

Congrats Razzo and thanks for sharing.
My male is building castles and flaring nicely at the females who are slowly fattening up after their import (they were a bit skinny) so I hope to have fry of my own before the summers out.
Did your male select just one female to bond with or is he promiscuous?

My largest male started displaying first but none of the females wanted to spawn with him. Then, after some time, my 2nd largest male seized the opportunity and started displaying. I think he'll spawn with any female that is willing. I think his jo is to entice the females into coming into season. He has spawned with two females already. The first female didn't hold well - she couldn't resist the urge to eat. This second female did perfect.
Congrats on the spawn Razzo. I have a female holding now for the first time since I put them in the tank. I see your photo of them free swimming on day 4, is that 4 days after stripping? So 16 days from spawning to free swimming? I'm not very confident of her holding to term but, if she's still holding after 10 days or so I will strip her. Would you suggest I wait 12 days? Or do you think I could strip a little early? I definately don't want to tumble. P.S great photos as usual.

Hey guys, all are doing well Here is a photo update:
My guess is that the males are the one's starting to develop the blue highlights on the dorsal fins
Moved them from the floating nursery in the 72-gallon tank to their own 2.5 gallon fry tank.
Below is the 2.5 gallon tank being painted black. I wanted to try this for photography purposes.
The new tank (CaribSea Bahamas Oolite and a few shells for effect):
