Greetings from the USA. Haven't posted in a while.

 

The pair of Breidohri have set up breeding area behind the foliage in the tank. Every once in a while they would pop out to see what I was doing with the camera. Here's the male:

 

 

 

Here's the female.

 

 

Happy to say I DO have a female Yellow Labridens from Media Luna. Here she is in hot pursuit of one of the males. I have the five fish in a 150 gallon tank. Right now all of the males are hiding on the left side...the female is in control of the remaining 80% of the tank.

 

 

A few more pictures of the P. Fredrichsthali from Cenote Escondido. Male:

Anyone who takes pictures of their fish knows that there is always that milisecond of a delay between when your brain instructs your finger to take the shot. Sometimes it works to your advantage. I was framing this shot of a male...as I hit the shutter release another male intervened. It happened that quick that I didn't even realize it until I reviewd the pictures on my computer.

 

 

One more... of an uncooperative Freddie making a turn as the shutter was released.
