Breeding?

[doomiedee]

When breeding cichlids does it matter if they are in a high traffic area of the house? They are a pair of convicts as we all know they are water rabbits and probably one if not the most easiest fish to breed. I have them on my living room on a wall that divides the living room from the kitchen. I know they are ready to spawn went thru the motions but haven't produced eggs but yet my other pair in a tank directly across the room about 5' away have.

Think about it this way - would YOU engage in sexual activity in a high traffic area ?

In all seriousness - yes, it does make a difference.

Lmao. So should I move the tank ?

If you really want fry - yes. It's just a higher stress environment for raising a family in.

fish can sense pressure and vibration... i wouldnt be surprised if they knew you were behind the blanket

You could put a cover around the tank if you would like first instead of moving the tank

You can breed these suckers in a toilet I don't think it matters but you could try the sheet it may work

I'm a bit confused cause both tanks were literally with in arms reach of each other. I moved them to my 40 b in my sons room since that tank was empty and the room isn't being used since my son still sleeps in my room. I guess they like the move cause thier actually getting along again. Then again a 40 b is better then a divided 15.
