Its like losing your virginity, some people don't get it right the first time. Lol.

I do that tank has about 40 pounds of driftwood...I know how you feel! I cleaned my Kelberi mess on Sunday,prob, my biggest spawn so far. Never had a bad spawn before with other Cichla. I always use the Brightwell Tannins....seems like it helps the whole egg process. Do you use Tannins? Good Luck and get ready,eighteen days has been the magic number over here!
thanks..congrats for spawning them but sucks that they didn't make it.
They are getting ready again cleaning the rock like crazy and displaying their colors when they spawn this time i am going to try something a little different hope they eggs will go past two days and get wigglers!!!!good luck to ya Gary ..Any luck on your end? Im at day 27 from first botched spawn on vertical wall. It looks like female is close to ovulation, she just colored up and is very defensive and is cleaning. I repeated exactly what I did first time...accept a little more difficult with the tank close to outdoors and average temp close to 90 degrees now. What are you doing with your guys? Thanks Gary
