Mastacembelus ellipsifer breeding

Yesterday, April 10th 2022, my Mastacembelus ellipsifer group (3M/2F) was breeding.
They try to lay eggs in cracks of the side wall. Unfortunately they eat their own eggs and get help from the other predators.

Loved the compressiceps with the eggs on it's head

Absolutely impossible to get ahold of these in the UK.

Always the issue with those community tanks! Very difficult to breed fish in, or you need to remove any eggs/fry as fast as possible...
