Thanks Matt! Well no pix tonight, I didn't have the DSLR battery charged so I used the cell phone. Was able to take a video, the male is not camera shy, however the female is. I also need to scrape the algae which might improve the images. I did notice today the female has much more yellow on her than usual, also her stomach is getting larger.

The male is very aggressive. He will not tolerate any other fish in the aquarium.

Not really Mindy. They are both still alive. I had to separate them again 6 months ago.
The female is finally well enough to be released back into the tank.
