30-06-2006 11:29 by ryanroddis	Hi guys, I mentioned my texas on a thread a few days ago, here is a pic of them, would you say they have paired off? they are always in this corner and never apart from each other, they just wont breed! Strange!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

30-06-2006 11:41 by ryanroddis	I will get a pic of the full set up the texas are in, it has a white sand bottom and marine glo light, with the ocean rock it looks stunning, everyone i know wants it, They like it that much i now set up all my mates to look the same!
30-06-2006 11:42 by samy	not bad at all ryan.
30-06-2006 15:22 by telboy	hello ryan' nice pics!are ya sure you got a true pair?only my male texas'dorsal+anal fins seem to be alot longer than in ya pics they hang over the tail! maybe it might be the clarity of the pic???
30-06-2006 16:01 by ryanroddis	It was taken by a camera phone telboy, The male is alot darker around the anal area, and the female is smaller, I hope there a true pair, The female seems to be the boss tho!
30-06-2006 16:25 by PaddyD	Very possible - behaviour counts for a lot! Very nice Pair of Cyanoguttatus in spawning colour! My only concern is they do not appear to have any good spawning sites. All your rocks are rough and wont provide serfaces to place the eggs. Not really suitable for centrals. They may well spawn on the bottom of the glass after digging out a hole though. You may wish to hive them a couple of clay flowerpots, as these make good caves for them to spawn in.
30-06-2006 16:27 by ryanroddis	What about a flat piece of slate, Positioned in the corner where they sit?
30-06-2006 16:29 by rob r	any smooth curved stone just deep enough tu get under should do
30-06-2006 16:29 by ryanroddis	Your info is appreciated Paddy, Keep it coming, I want to breed these two desperate, and it sounds like you know what ya talking about!
30-06-2006 16:30 by ryanroddis	Do i need to house something around the slate i will lay on the bottom or leave it open?
30-06-2006 16:35 by rob r	leave an entrance only
30-06-2006 16:36 by ryanroddis	Ok, So if i lay a piece of slate approx 4" Square and build around it with other stones this should suffice? Rob,,, in your opnion do my texas look like they are ready to breed?
30-06-2006 16:38 by rob r	i cant make the pic out properly poor eyesight sorry .you still at work
30-06-2006 16:39 by ryanroddis	Yes mate,,,, 5 mins till i finish! They are showing really dark colours to the back end, More so on the male!
