sajica update and other spawnings

[davidefc]

update on my sajicas, i still have the fry from the preious thread(there first time) and there about 1cm long and eating well and growing then then i took the fry out the same male bred with my other female sajica, it was there first time too, but i took the fry out the day i went on holiday and my uncle looked after them and the day before i came back and to pick them up they all died but the first litter was going strong.
now i have just today take out anouther 40+ sajicas from the 2nd female and she lost her colours, then the male is now as we "speeck" gauding the 1st female while she lays eggs
i wil get pics tomorrow of all of them including 1-2nd female and my big male and all the fry and my small male growing out in another tank.
my big male is a BRUTE
soon iam going to be over run with fry

wierd thing is that the first female kept her normal colours on all spawns and the 2nd changed to black and faded like barley pops? but his male also changed colour and my male hasnt on all spawns? what gives?

barley we need an update on your fry and sajicas

mine are doing great... however i have not had nearly as many as you. just the first batch that hatched and the second laying of eggs that were eaten. Repair needs to come and get the rest of the fry out of the tank so mom and dad go back at it again.

My male is getting really big and filling out nicely with great colours. the female has not growen nearly as much or as fast.


wounder why your male never changed in to breeding dress ??? that seems strange to me.


also just to update you david my HRP now have a tank full of fry

nooooo you beat me dam lol o/j my hrp is strange she looks like shes protecting somethink but carnt see anythink goodluck raising the fry. all my female does is dig around the plants. my male sajica also has bulked out alot thats why hes the BEAST hes got a hump too and hes got beutiful finage. i think my hrp hasnt breed in there because there a female jd,sal,rainbow pair and eliotis there which are more aggressive and some are bigger but my male hrp is the boss i will look for fryshes been staying there for awhile.
they would have there own tank but i cracked my 120 where all my bigger cichlid where going like a pair of jd
i will get my dad to take some photos of every one and they fry. and my cracked 120 iam getting another one either tomorrow or friday
my set up for my pair are
120-pair of jd and sajica
35-rainbow and hrp
35-sajica and kribs
and i might try to fix the craked 120 and use it as a fry grow out hahah
