Hey everyone had these wonderful fish about a week now and both females color have improved drastically and vividly! They definitely appear yellow. Is this the spawning color everyone talks about? Both females have been semi territorial and have been in caves much of the time the last 3-4 days though my other one has dug out and taken refuge under a huge Indian almond leaf.

Anyway any advice is welcome. If they are spawning any tricks to encourage success with regards to water changes (which cause some other fish to spawn)

Good looking females in spawning dress! You could try a water change to see If it will cause them to spawn.

So both females have come out with babies a day apart. My younger female has at least 30 and my older has about 35 or more hard to count them they're in and out from under leaves so much.

Both females are very protective and the male seems to be quite protective as well. Male picked up a baby and spit it back with the female earlier tonight.

Here's a pic of my younger female and their first day out.
