I will try and get a better pic of the pair. Every time that I come with the camera, they go into hiding.

Congrats on the spawn Mike. I assume the reddish patch is the eggs in the first photo? How are they doing at this point?

I ended up losing the first batch over Christmas since we were all out of town. They have spawned again but I didn't raise this batch. I will need to move this pair at some point since the original plan for this tank was to house butterflies. I will put a tile in there in the meantime do get them to spawn on that.
