They are such cool looking fish.  Spittin' images of their parents.  Now that you know you have a male and female.  The next time you see one of them (the male) facing into their cave, fanning, when he clears out of the opening, take a flashlight and look deep into the cave and you might see 50 - 100 babies squirming around.

I've learned to position the cave so I can "shine" them.  Good Luck.
