To all my Cichla Family,

I came home to find the Large male bass doing some strange things today, I myself think it may be a mating ritual but I could be wrong.

I hope that some off you guys may be able to help out here.

It looks like he is trying to display for the female. She looks uninterested. I am no pbass expert, but this is similar to how my other cichlid males start the mating dance. Your bass are beautiful!
 
i would say you will have eggs by the morning if not tonight
 
damn pete, what have you got in that water lol..
gonna have some babies soon..
ill take some if you like ;):D
 
It does look promising :)

This is similar behavior that I have seen with other breeding pairs/trios that I have come across.

Congrats.
 
Go buy a 180g tank to raise the fry!
