Strange Going On's In 4Ft

Well as some of you know I lost my Male Bolivian Ram. Last night I got home to find that 2 spot (Male Ellioti) has dug a pit. He is the only Ellioti in the tank? The Female Ram is now spending her time swimming around but seems to hover over 2 spot and his pit As I said in my previous post, she showed no sign of interest in the bol male, he tried a couple of times to woo her but she wasn't having any of it. 2 spot isn't persuing her like he did the other ellioti but is showing a very gentle interest in her and she isn't rebuffing him. Anyone else had experiance with this. Can anything come of this. Really dont know what to make of it. I did bring my camera in but forgot the download cable (What a twit).

Sounds like they are spawning to me.

Even though they are both Chiclids, I didnt think this was possible. Or am I being dim.

If they are both the same species then yes its possible!

She is a Bolivan Ram, he is a Thorichthy's Ellioti (excuse spelling) Could they cause a hybrid. I did also notice her tube was more pronounced. I've already got kribs spawning. And a Pair of Ellioti with fry (In another tank) Is it spring in my house already

Nothing will come of it, Im 99.9% sure they cant cross-bred.

Thanks Minxfishy, Glad to say all back to normal. Two spot is still near his pit



Directly under the female is the bogwood which two spot has bulit his pit behind. I just think she is a tease
