The pavo are interesting as they will spawn in caves. I find the micros are a tougher group to spawn. I had the Kilila variant and currently working with Kasai.

Nice Rocking Fish
They live as a school of fish as 1000+ individuals and they are not so peaceful if they feel good. They need high tanks and 5m/8f ratio as minimum.

Understood but definitey peaceful for a cichlid
They are expensive but if you get them producing fry then you'll be getting free future fish so it all works out in the end!

Thanks Makoy! For sure, the free fish is an awesome perk of breeding.

Not a Cichlid fan, for multiple reasons; but Love your videos & channel. Looking forward to the next 'non-Cichlid species' Spotlight! :)

I wouldn't recommend it! Tropheus can pretty aggressive
