convict cichlid breeding

[Patrick333]

they stay in the like exaxt center of the tank. I don think they are going to lay them on the pot now. I think hey are going to dig out under a piece of marble. That would br cool

Just sit back and watch. This is the fun part

 

[Patrick333]

my male keeps rubbing his body on the one clay pot and he marble. is he cleaning it? Y is it now that they are paired up my female comes out from hiding? Does she feel safer being with a bigger male?

Well what is there to fear now? The fish are paired up so they have a little bond. They will stay together now and protect the fry with their lives.

should i keep the aquarium covered? so they dont feel like they are being watched

 

[Mustang5L5]

nah, they get paranoid no matter what you do. You do want to see them don't you?

 

[Patrick333]

im thinking of doing a water change tonight will that be ok? yes i do want to see them they look awesome

 

[Mustang5L5]

Yeah go nuts. Up til they layed eggs i was doing a change every day or so. I still do my weekly changes now that they have bred.

I just cannot vacuum the bottom anymore. The fry are really spread out. They are about 9-10 days and swimming all over the bottom of the tank.

 

[Patrick333]

y is it that now the female doesnt have dark colors unless she is in th pot. not interested in breeding anymore. Male kind of leaves her alone too.

 

[Patrick333]

i think me doing a waer change ruined them. What do u think?

 

[Patrick333]

What happened they lost there color again. They look dumb now
