Green Terror Pair having babies

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I read somewhere lately that the time to remove parents is about a month after the fry are swimming.. the parents take care of them and protect them... but after a month the male will sometimes want to start breeding ..could kill the young and the female will attack male to protect off spring.. so i fiqure in a month or a little sooner i will take both parents out... looking for other info if anyone can provide more on subject... still new to me with raising cichlids..
 
Emm I like em!! Still looking for a lone female for my male in local shops, but I havent had ANY luck.

Beautiful !!! And perfect closeup shot... wish i could do that... still learning with camera ...maybe someday i will get close-ups that compare to yours..
 
Here is a new picture of Mom and Baby Green Terrors.. I know they are hard to see but there are about 30 free swimming...yippee so far!!
 
every night there would be less and less babies.. down to none.. think Dad was helping himself when Mom was not looking.. but at least i know i have a fertile breeding pair.. and as they mature themselves i think they will inprove their parenting skills {i hope so anyway}
 
Sorry for your loss... Hopefully next time will be better!
 
Wow! That's awsome. I didn't know they could breed at that size either. Good Job :thumbsup:
 
Thanks for your best wishes for "next time" I have a big question for everyone on the forum... have you ever heard of dwaft green terrors?? Could it be possible that these are dwafts?? I still find it so incredible that they are breeding so young.. i read up on them and it did say they mature rather young and can be as small as 3 inches.. but then i did read there were dwaft terrors.. so how would i know the difference if the store did not add the word "dwaft" when i purchased them?? does any one have a clue?? they are about to spawn again.. so i am looking forward to babies again.I fyou have any info let me know..or i will just have to wait until they grow...
 
i have heard the tell of them breeding at 2.5"- 4" they gotta be around there right i can't tell to well from the avatar
