Here are some photos of my pair of Jack Dempseys breeding. They have only been a pair for a week and I already have eggs. They have been lip locking often. I didn't realise that female cichlids were so tough, she manages to keep him at bay and he is much bigger than she is. Hope you like them.

very nice
 
Does anyone know why, when the light goes off in the aquarium the female darts out leaving her eggs and starts lip locking the male?

Obviously she sees him as a threat to the eggs but it gets quite violent.

I turned the light back on and they stopped and were back to normal swimming together and generally enjoying each others company.
 
Thanks for the comments everyone!

I am going to get some videos up in a second so hold on and check later
