Cyp shimmies ;)

Just wanted to share this.

I have had my cyps for 8 days now and this morning as I was drinking my coffee two males were doing their best to impress the females. They were going right up to them, bending, and shaking. I am so impressed to see them do this. More impressed that they think so much of the new tank and new water. *thumbsups

As of this morning there were three distinct groups. One displaying male with 4 females, 1 displaying male with 1 female, and the other males and 1 more female. One of the males has been flashing for a few days now, and at first I thought he was just being quick getting to one spot to another to do his display, but nope, there are two of the little fella's going for it!

Heh, at this rate and a bit of luck I'm going to have to think of the nurssery a little sooner than I origonaly thought.

sounds like little baby cyps will soon be on the way . lol i think that one male should share some of his females with the other guys *crazysmil

That is too cool! They must really think somethin of your new tank

Yeah, poor guys. But hey, that's a big perk of being the 'Alpha'. He's got his 'hoes' LOL.

I am very pleased to see this taking place so soon in my tank. I was prepared for a few die off's, and to wait several months before I would even think of seeing something like this. No females are holding yet, but by the looks of it, I may not wait long at all. They are young, and this is most likley going to be the first spawn, or close to it, so even if they do start holding soon, its probably going to be while before they finaly start carring to term.
