It's been a while since I've posted, as it's been a busy year. My system has been described in previous posts. It's an approximately 90 gallon dirty water system, using only an algae scrubber for filtration. it's been up for almost 2 years now, and the system is what I would call fully mature. About a year ago I introduced a pair of file fish, one about the size of a half dollar, the other a quarter. They paired up almost immediately, and spend most of their time together. This morning during water top-off I noticed one of them looks like they've swallowed a marble. Looks like a nest is being built on the substrate in one of the grottos in the rock work. I'll try and get some photos, but this fish is absolutely pregnant. Anyone ever seen this?
