Spawn log: Steel blue and red HM x Steel blue and red HM

SO I did it!  My almost identical steel blue and red male and female spawned, literally an hour after being released together, and he is one GREAT daddy!  They spawned yesterday, and spawned for a couple of hours, he was very good at getting the embrace correct, and there was quite a few eggs in each embrace.  The female actually helped place the eggs in the nest, and helped build up the nest.  I do not have great photos of mommy and daddy, but  I will include one photo of daddy, I will post better pics of them in a couple of days, she has stress stripes and I would rather get those gone before posting a picture of her.  There should be 200+ eggs and we already have wigglers, and he is doing a very good job keeping them in the nest.  He hates me, he watches me like a hawk anytime I come near, never removing his eyes off of me until I leave. I didnt expect him to spawn since I just got him in the mail on monday, and I just got her in on Wednesday, BUT they did it, and it looks to be a great spawn! They are not related, yet their coloring is identical, so when you see the pic of the boy, you can kinda get an idea of what the girl looks like, same markings too.  SO happy!  Cannot wait to spawn my new red male, he is literally flawless, not a single flaw to him! Gonna condition him up some more because he spawned with my new black female, but there was only 10 eggs, and he ate them :(
