F0 Geophagus Sp. Red Head Araguia's getting ready to breed

[TaTeR ToT]

My F0 pair of Geophagus Sp. Red Head Araguia are preparing to spawn.

Hopefully all goes well this time and the female actually let's the male fertilize the eggs.
They have bonded a lot more since the last attempt, so hopefully.

Either way ill post videos of it when it takes place.

All went well, the eggs were fertilized and are being guarded viciously.
