i currently have a tank that houses six jewel cichlids, and when i woke up this morning, the dominant male had paired up with the dominant female (#1) and they had layed eggs. i also witnessed another female (#2) fighting with the soon-to-be-mom. i shrugged and sayed whatever. however, when i came home from school today, i saw #2 laying eggs near the first female's nest, and then i saw the dominant male fertilizing those eggs too.
i was just wondering if anyone else has heard of jewel cichlids being polygamous.
