Hi folks,

Bought myself a pair of rainbow cichlids for my 30 gal tank yesterday - came home from work today and they were spawning!

Is it usual for them to spawn so quickly? They are a tad skittish at the moment so i hope they mellow out a touch but maybe that is because they have just been introduced to the tank?

Thought I would share:

I think that rainbows are quite a bit like cons in the breeding aspect. I recently got a couple at an auction, and they still bred two days later after sitting in the bag all day. Good luck. Should be fun.
