After loosing my phone I haven’t been able to log in for a few months and in fairness not much has changed other than I’m now breeding oscars .. kinda , finally paired and spawned but I have a very ballsy pleco that ate all the eggs , lost a lot of its fins in the process but somewhat a Pyrrhic victory for the pleco , my eba are breeding also they have found a nice little corner away from the oscars who don’t bother with them or there fry surprisingly. I rehomed my turtle as much as it was happy he now lives with other turtles .
One thing I have learned in the last few months is that not all cichlid pairing behaviour is the same , in fairness my main experience with pairing is acara type cichlids and was ready for the brutal ritual of the Oscar I almost separated them but by day 3 I knew they had paired, no more aggression and lack of hunger . Day 5 eggs , that was a second attempt of breeding as the two juveniles I bought turned out to be biblical brothers and one would of been killed if I didn’t change something.
So yep I’m back again to give worthless advice and ask random questions
