Here is my pair, the female is a regular Fenestratus and the male is a Marble Fenestratus, bred and created here in Australia!

Hoping to get some nice marbled fry from this pair!

The female has her tube right down, should get some eggs within the next couple of days!

Really?

I have never heard that and I don't understand how it would work, I guess it's worth a try though
