conditioning

[icecube]

How do i condition my cichlids to breed?
will live foods help in conditioning?

 

[night flight]

'
Most cichlids will condition up on foods with good levels of protein.Frozen bloodworms works well.Live foods as blackworms,redworms ,small fry also works

yeah do what night flight said...feed them more than you normally do...then that way your fish will think there is a unlimited supply of food....so there babies will have unlimited food as well

raise the temp, too. it simulates the "coming of spring" indicating a long, warm summer ahead to help ensure the fry's survival.

oh after conditioning usually a large water change normally does the spawning trick....but dont do too much wc that will kill the fishys
