breeding mania

[mariochainsaw]

woke up this morning and seen my green terrors have bred for the first time hundreds of eggs ,
then i look in my other tank and see 5 of my malawi cichlids breeding and holding eggs iv never had that many breed all on the same day !

i actually have 2 female green terrors with eggs/fry only about 6 inches appart i would just like to say this is the first time they have bred and the reason is because i added some of that waterlife 6.5 buffer ,
the ph of my water without buffer is 8.2 very high i know and even when you add the 6.5 buffer it doesnt really alter it much but it must hav been enough to get them to breed

both batches of fry were devoured today theres only about 5 left out of a possible 400 strangely when the clown loaches and other green terrors were eating the young the parents were fighting each other
