I'm sure yours will breed soon as well...

They're still guarding something in a different flowerpot so they haven't eaten them yet...

Congrats! I hope mine spawn in the next few months. These are awesome cichlids and it would be nice to see more people with them.

Matt,

Do you know about what age yours started spawning? Where did you get them from? I'm wondering if our fish are related. If not, I may need to get some fry from you to broaden the gene pool.

Also, have you considered vacuuming the wrigglers out and raising them separately?

I got mine a couple years ago in a local auction from a guy who said he got them from Jeff Rapps.

They were probably 2 years old when they started breeding for me.

If they eat the babies again, I'll take some next time around. Just too bust for that right now...

Two years? Well, I better put these on the back burner. lol.

Wow, just found this thread. Feeling quite jealous right now - one of my wishlist fish, if they ever make it to Australia.

Stunning pair, and congratulations on the spawn.

Congrads Matt. Those fish are beautiful man. Did you have that male in the show last year?

Thanks - yes he was at the ACA in Cinci. He took 3rd in his class, if I recall...he wasn't happy in the limestoney water
