I just read it again... I read it wrong lol, I tough you meant actual eggs!
But yes her egg tube has dropped.
If her egg tube has dropped, do a 30% water change with slightly cooler water, like 2 degrees cooler, and you will have eggs within a day.
Really ? Cooler water ? I tought it was slightly hotter water :3. Like a temperature bump would get em in the mood...
I have bred all sorts of cichlids, including peacock bass (which are harder to breed than most cichlids) and I have found that once they start to show courtship behavior, I do 30% or so water changes for 3-4 days in a row and then on the 4th or 5th night I do another water change with slightly cooler water and it is almost every single time that the next morning there will have spawned. I don't know why it works, but I have heard theorys that it simulates the rainy season when the fish normally breed in the wild. Who knows but give it a shot and I bet that they spawn for you. Good Luck.
I heard that too. But I some people told me same temperature water and after u put your heater higher. I might try the colder water. I did on yesterday. My water temp was at 72°F, and after the WC, 70.3 °F.
