I don't think so, she gets really aggro when the guppies swim by and the male is keeping the other female on her side so I may have wigglers.

Can't really see but they really only fan when there's eggs to tend. Wigglers don't need fanning.

I still have a few tricks up my sleeve. I'm gonna see if I still have the breeding log from the pair I had 10 years ago and see what I am doing different.

Nice gillie! Who says apistos don't appreciate a planted tank?!?!? In your experience, when the female is seldom seen and the male stays close to the opening of a cave?? Baby time??
