Certainly a shock for me I can tell you, I didnt plan on breeding them but I am so pleased they did. I cannot get over the difference in colours and patterns of the fry, one has now turned brown the spitting image of its father, sadly none are pure gold like their mother, but a couple of pale silver ones that are stunning. The moss has grown crazy in the tank and they love nothing more than wrigging into a clump and turning round and round until they mould a little hole then fall asleep in it. Never seen this "nest building" behaviour before
