One of my africans is pregnant

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I will definitely post when she spits, I hope my fish stores will take them, they're such pretty fish and I don't want to feed them to my monster tank :(.
 
the father is quite handsome! they should have some good looking offspring.. hopefully the lfs will take them-id hate to have to use them as feeders with them being beautiful fish! lol
 
Well, two updates;

One of my LFS said they'd buy two dozen from me.

Second thing?

Feeding my africans today and my female yellow lab was hiding, took a look at her and she is pregnant too. I'll get pics today after I iso her, I need to go to work. I guess I can put my betta in a bowl for a bit and put her in that 10gal.

I was anticipating breeding, just not.. all at once. OB Zebra is sitting comfortably at 80 degrees and a continuous weekly waterchange. Hopefully she spits soon!!!
 
thats how it happens sometimes, everything decided to breed at the same time, atleast you knw your doing something right ;) good luck with ur girls, keep us updated
 
How long does it take for my yellow lab to release her fry? How long is her holding period?

How do I know if the eggs have been fertilized?

if she is holding them then they are fertile ..it takes 21 days on average...three weeks... for all mouth brooders.. some a little longer..some a little less...temp of water etc has alot to do with it and also the ratio of males to females...
 
keep the temp at around 28-30C,
