easiest african cichlid to breed?

[zfoster22]

they are mouth brooders and hold the babies for about 2-3 weeks and im getting about 6-12 per batch.

ok whats the size they can start breeding at? do they need a special substrate?

feed to pbass, and gar i have a empty 20 gal can be growout for a while. and i have a 30 i can use for parents better footprint than a 29.

I hate seeing yellow labs go for feeders..but yes it will work...
