I have three african cichlids (not sure what species, theres a few that look a lot alike)(the ones with spots on their anal fin) but I have a pale blue/white one that cleaned out a stump decoration thing, and is having little siezure things. then it tries to get a the darker gray/blue one to follow it in there. I don't see any eggs, but it won't let anything near the stump except the other cichlid. they are both about 4 inches.
 
found the species in Ash's sticky. thanks :D
Metriaclima greshakei
 
the zebras dont lay eggs. they are mouth brooders
 
so does the female carry the eggs or the male? they are both still eating right now.
 
not yet, she doesn't really seem to interested, but he has been rubbing on the rocks every now and then...
 
lol, alright then. maybe next time it'll work out. should i leave them to their thing next time, then separate the babies to a 10 gallon after their free swimming? or can I move my female and then put her back after they are free swimming?
