Hello All,

I've just moved to another flat in my city but with a terrible accident i've lost most of my previous fishes. I had 2 Golden Severums, 6 firemouth cichlids and 6 cories in a 200L tank and only 2 of firemouths and some cories could survive. :( I recently bought 2 golden and one red severum seperately but probably to make them 4-5 would be better till they choose their pair?

Anyways, the main event that i understood that my 2 firemouths started to be together everywhere and the female one has a big stomach and she protruded her ventral tube. I don't have any other tank to siphone the fry or eggs and at the same time i don't have any good decoration to lay eggs. 2 mangrowe driftwood, and one big smooth stone. You can have an idea of my previous community tank with that video imho [VID]http://www.vimeo.com/12149850[/VID]. It has almost the same decoration now. I'd be very pleased to get your suggestions.:)
