my congos r breeding

[zephyr]

its been happening a couple of days now, my congo tetras r breeding !

i noticed when i saw the males flourishing with their bright orange colours and a distinct black marking near the gills. Their colours r so strong that even the orange tint is showing in all fins ! this is a first for me so its exciting

but the eggs all get eaten by all the other congo tetras. they wait below the female and start to chew away
i wish they would b more protective of their eggs
