Yup, thanks, I'm all good. There's a gorgeous sunset behind my window and I had a fun weekend with my friends from the Tolkien forum - and I came back just in time to discover the TOC of the Inheritance. Life's good!
I think they're practicing. The last pair of Angel fish I had did the same thing: they cleaned a surface, laid the eggs and then either ate them or didn't manage to help them hatch (they should clean "bad eggs" away so they don't contaminate the others and keep other fish away etc etc). This happened a few times before they finally managed to get live offspring. And I think Lacey is still too young (and I'm now unsure whether it's a male or a female).
