nice! i have 6 bleheri fries in a 4ft now, hopefully will get maybe a pair or two in the future. the blue fins r in the same tank too.

im new to sh, do u know about breeding for bleheri?
i saw on the web somewhere, they cool down the water for abt 3 months starting around nov/dec and end on feb/mar to replicate winter. they say it stimulates breeding. is this necessary?
TIA

You will need a tank heavily planted with lots of plants and hiding place.
Also the water has to be real still because bleheri will need stagnant water to make its bubble nest so the eggs will hold in them, if there is water movement the eggs will fall and drop.

If two can comm together and swim closely does it mean its a pair?

if they can swim together can be possible pair too as sometimes mixing a male and female will result in a fight and either one will be injured
