    Anyone have any info on these guys. I got my fish to pair up (like the day after I introduced the smaller swiss) and they've been showing a braver and more out of hiding behavior since they paired up.

    Settlement of the larvae was a very long process for Todd, and only one survived. Not an easy feat, but don't let that deter you.

    I'd check out the Marine Breeders Initiative - mbisite.org/Forums/ and see what members have to say on that genus :) Lots of VERY talented breeders on that forum.

    I was lucky to even get them and have them pair up so easily. I took a very big gamble on them pairing but looks like luck was on my side. Ive heard people talk about them being very cryptic fish and never see them but I usually see one or the both at least 8 times a day.

    And I will check out that site and see what they have to say. Ive dealt with tropheus breeding before I was into saltwater so hopefully I can be just as successful as I was woth them.
