Hi, I am new to the forum. I recently purchased 4 Texas cichlid's and put them in a 55 tank just to watch them. They also have 4 clown loach's for friends. Well 3 of them formed a pack harassed the 4th until I took it out of the tank. I soon discovered the they had spawned. It looks like all of 3 of them spawned together. Is this normal to have 3 fish spawn together? I have seen all three of them hover over the fry at the same time. Right now they are spending a lot of time trying to harass the clown loach's who are to fast for them. They have dug pits all over the tank, but the fry are basically hanging out in a large pit and are free swimming now. I have been feeding them baby brine shrimp and they seem to eat it. I have also tried grinding up flake food, but do not know if they are eating any of it.
I had to laugh at one of the Texas cichlid's, it attacked a clone loach from above, it was massive speed attack and the clown loach moved, the Texas went head first right into the gravel! All of their attacks now are lightning quick. The loach's have places they can hid if they want.
Well anyway I was wondering if anyone else has seen 3 cichlid's spawning together?
Thanks,
Mike
