Very nice, you'll have to watch the shark if they do breed - he'll be after the eggs/fry.
Mind you my BNs saw off Mbuna when they were looking after eggs, the fry didn't stand a chance though and the next time they mated I removed the fry just after they had hatched.

Luke has bred them a few times, hope he manages on as I know he has been very busy with work lately.
But I believe a cave the male can just fit in, good diet with plenty of veg is the main things

That's how I've done it, had a very small pot and they laid eggs inside, the male then protects and fans the eggs. When the eggs hatched I removed the pot complete with male to a fry tank. When the male ventured out to see what was happening, I moved him back to the main tank and grew out the fry. PS: prior to the eggs hatching I had the fry tank running and allowed it to develop algae for when the youngsters were introduced. As they then grew I introduced fresh veggies each day. |
