Super Red/Turquoise Cichlid breeding pair's second batch, with HD video!

[Insidiac]

After having my cichlids in a 55g as a temporary home while I set up the sand in the 75g, I finally moved everyone back to the 75g after it was done cycling, and I did a 60% water change with cooler water to incite the breeding again. They had paired and bred before but I was worried the stress of relocating homes twice would "unpair" them, but looks like it didnt. This is actually the second batch theyve produced successfully, and it was a much bigger count before but natural selection has removed many of them. They are 3 days old and are growing at a fast pace. Enjoy the video! You can see how aggressive mom and dad are

Congrats....but I hope you have a good place for all those fry to go. Once they start breeding they never stop. It is one batch after another. I had a breeding pair, and they provided me with a multitude of feeders. Jewels are very protective parents.

Yeah I have a 20g I will transfer them to once they get big enough, and a now empty 55g for when they get even bigger

I wonder what the babies will look like when larger.
