? bout my aratus

[synrgst]

its not rocks. they look like white eggs. i have no white rocks on tha tank. my rocks are black and blue

this my aratus. this was taken last month.

If the eggs are white they are most likely not fertile. I've had female lay eggs and carry unfertile eggs for a couple days before they swallow them.

ya tha last time i seen this. my aratus carried em for like 2-3 then they were gone. but this time it now bout 5 days my aratus is carrying em. so wut do u think is my aratus a male or female? sorry tha pic isnt that clear

 

[jus1time]

Its definately a female! That doesnt mean the eggs are fertile. I watched my female spawn by her self since there werent any males in the tank. She will continue to do the same thing over and over.

 

[synrgst]

how can u tell that its female? and wuts tha chances she will breed with another one of my cichlids?

 

[jus1time]

I can tell by her holding eggs in her mouth. Males dont do that. Chances are 80/20 she'll breed with one of the other fish.
