Two sets of kids for him now huh! lol I've got a male auratus as well, not albino though. Think he'll try to get with my female johanni?

he has now impregnated our female for the second time in 8 weeks. she was only back in the tank for about 7-8 days

he is very aggressive, he runs half the tank and we have a albino red top zebra male that runs the other half. Everyone else just tries their best to stay out of the way.

I have an albino red top zebra too...he runs most of the tank and the auratus runs to bottom left corner. He'll take on anyone and anything! lol I call him my rowdy man.
