bay snook

[t.oliphant]

any of you guys ever keep these or spawn them? if so what are some signs of them preparing to spawn?

 

[Caveman]

I have never spawned them but I would guess there courtship is similar to other Cichlids. Like the male dancing around the female both fish being more aggressive and staking out a prime spot to lay eggs. Does it look like yours are prepairing to make some little Snook?

 

[t.oliphant]

yes they look that way alot of gill flaring and shaking i have also noticed a pit being dug out near a log there is also some tail slapping toward the other cichlids in the tank

Sounds like they are getting ready to spawn! Good luck.

I dont see the normal color Snook very often I think they are in low demand. I would contact Jeff Rapps and Tangled Up In Cichlids see if he has any swimming around.

 

[t.oliphant]

yeah i have tried jeff but all he has are the reds
