Is My Cichlid Crazy Or What????!

[CichlidsRool]

After 20 years of breeding African Cichlid's i have never seen anything like this.After my female let the fry's out of her mouth i took her out from the tank after a week,but now all she dose is taking bubbles in her mouth and acts like she has egg's in her mouth.Why is she doing this? it drives me crazy!

is she back in with the male and fry, or in her own tank. maybe she misses her fry.

 

[Ang]

aw how sad.

Maybe she had the babies taken too soon. She's a good mommy. Breed her again.

Why did you take the babies?? Fear of loosing the mother? Why not let the cycle of life just work... Are you selling the babies?
