Hey everyone, Long does it take for Peacock Cichlids on average to get to 1-2 inches after losing their egg sacks? I realize water changes, quality, and space all make a difference and because of that Ill lay out my plan. If I have a holding female, I would either strip her or relocate her into...

This pair of mine after two successful batches, now they are busy cleaning the slate since a month but never layed eggs yet. All water parameters are accurate and Ph is always between 7 and 7.5 and TDS is always between 140ppm and 200. And tank is situated near other breeding tanks and is free...

Do individuals in all species of Cichlids have the possibility of being short bodies? Like a Midas or a Synspilum? Also I know many people don't like short bodies but I don't want to start to a war in this thread, so please don't go after other people.

I saw this photo on Instagram and I was wondering if short body midas are a thing.

I just wanted to repost this thread for more info so here's some information on God of wealth/Rajah Cichlasoma Mania/ I can't speak Chinese and I don't trust Google translate. This hybrid is 20 inches long and was produced by Happy Breeding Farms in Taiwan, I haven't heard anything about it...
