Spawning Sciaenochromis Ahli

[BigUmbeeFan]

I'm looking to form a pair of these electric blue beautys and I just have a couple questions 1st.

How many females should I get to 1 male ?

Will the male mate with multiple females or will he bond to just 1 ?

Can I keep any other mbunas with this pair or is this a bad idea ?

Will the male or other females eat my spawned fry ?

Thanks for the help.

Yes they will eat the fry, even the bigger fry will eat the smaller

more females the better. and a big tank. keep them by themselves for best results. and fry will have to be removed or stripped. no chance really if left with parents.

if you have a rock pile with a lot of small spots then in a species tank you can get fry to survive...
