Hi
I set up a few tanks in my patio with driftwood . My firemouths have bred like crazy .
I wanted to breed a few M or F with other types of cichlids . Lots of room for tanks .

What have you guys bred with Firemouths ?

I was thinking of african yellow labs . Example a 40 gallon tank with 1 male firemouth and 2 or 3 yellow labs but would like suggestions.

Thanks
 
Not sure if they will breed with an African. The Firemouths I have are Thorichthys Meeki's and are C. American. If that's the case you might be able to mix them with another Thorichtys like a mixteco or an affinnis.

My $.02, if this info is wrong, please correct me.
 
Thank you both very much. I will go with cons for now will try a male Firemouth and F con.

I was originally thinking of yellow labs as there are wild yellow labs in the man made lake in middle of my community among every other type of cichlid known to man kind.
The labs are the only ones you see much as the others are deeper . I imagine the labs stay near the dense wood to avoid the peacock bass or oscars

Thanks again
