New pickups

[Mad About Cichlids]

Picked up a young male and female Midas today and currently have the female in with my WC male. So far everything looks pretty good with just alittle flaring here and there between the two, hope it stays that way. I really don't want to risk my WC male getting ripped fins and such from breeding but his genes are just too unique to not breed at least once. One successful breeding and they'll be separated.

just keep that huge male away from the wild male, Amphilophus are always "in the mood" , I bet it won't take long before those two pair up.

Thanks


The only downside to this breeding attempt is I'm not really sure how the female will eventually look like as she's only started to fade/change colors.

Sure that's a female? In that first pic, "her" tube looks like a "his".

I'm pretty sure it's a female, she was hanging out with the dominant male at the lfs. And if she was a he I"m pretty sure my WC would of never tolerate it in it's tank.

That's my other male Midas, both his parents were stripe Midas but he turned out to be colored.
