I have an F1 6 inch male that i have bought 5 F1 females and right before they spawned he killed them and i am trying to get a hold of some wild females his size do you think they will withstand him and actually breed with them. He is stunning and one of the best looking venustus i have ever seen he is 6.5 inches, if you would like a pic i will gladly put one up
I notice one of my female yellow cichilids has a mouthful of fries in her mouth. she has not eat for over a week and continues to keep fries in her mouth. she has not release the fries yet. i am afraid other cichilids will eat the fries when she releases them. Please tell me what I should do?
cool video there, i just stripped my sunshine peacocks female first ever batch of babies, shes quite small and i got 15 so not to bad for a first batch :P
hi i am new to this chiclid hobby but i got 7 malwi chiclides aulonocara gertrudae 1 male and 6 females they are about 10 cm big the male and female are about 8 -7 cm long
how can i strat breed them and when? my male is making holes in sand
under a rock pls help me....i know what i have is a endagerd specie help me save em
I have never had an AG" cichlid before, but I suppose it's breeding needs are the same as all other cichlids. The male already has his colours and is ready to breed, also digging holes wich is a good sign. Males reach their spawning age earlier than females.. the females would need to be nearing 12cm to breed. Sounds like you have alot of fish... make sure your not overcrowding.
The fish need to have privacy and security thus the cave. Do thorough water changes, warm temp at 27C.
@16506246 i will late u know how the things go with my AG and is nice to see that u help ppl around i see u answer my ppll thx ur nice and i hope i can pay u back one day:)
@jaill2hell hi mate is very hard for me know to undestend the big male is fighting all females off ... some time dance with one or onother one and after he gose crazyy and starts kikcing them what u say i shoud do get out and live only 2 male and female? thx for ur help
@jaill2hell thx a lot mate for advice and i will do some videos with my tanks to post it up i have 3 large tanks and 3 smaller once ill post them as soon as i get a dicent camera thx mate
I am doing my breeding in a 55gal. 30 is a bit too small, you could get away with it for a while with 1 male and maybe 1 female while fish are under 7 inches, You would have to prepare to move them out when they get any bigger.
The males are able to spawn before getting colour, but its hard to tell if so until they do show colour at around 4-5 inches.
In my xp, the females need to be 5 inches to breed too.
i have jewel african cichlids. about 3 inches long and they layed about 60 eggs but i only find 10 or 15 hatched. do you know what i can do to have more hatch? or have more that survive? it looks like you had alot survive. i just let them hatch in the tank without any nets or anything.
depends on the types of cychlids. For all my mouth breeding cichlids, I constantly move them around from tank to tank, do water changes etc... they still hold the eggs in mouth safe and sound. I actually found that doing a water change every few days after the eggs hatched, some will escape out of the mother's mouth and thats when I know its time to seperate fry from mum.
CAN YOU HELP,, I think that i have the same fish as the ones you have in your tank but i know there is another species that look very similar. could you please have a look at my vid and see if you can tell me if all my venustus are females
Word of advice to anyone who wants to breed any kind of fish. Never get a male and female from the same place. Get a male at one pet shop and female at another. Inbreeding fish over and over can give ur fish birth defects and they lose original value.
they will tear up bloodworms. At about 2-3 inches the males will develop blue on their face and the females will not. Also the dorsal fin on the males is long and pointed while the females have rounded dorsal fins
@limpertf00 I know this is an old comment, but its actually not ok to feed them blood worms, check any forum, there is little or no nutritional value in them just fyi
it depends wat kind.the biggest cichlid in the world witch is a african cichlid is the EMPOROR CICHLID.but like electric yellows ive seen some at least 7 inches.
wow.. that's amazing.. how old will they be when they start to spawn.?? and did you let the babies out of the mom's mouth or did you let her release it by herself..? i need some tips.. i have 6 african cichlids.. they are all still babies.. about one inches long.. i'm thinking about 3 months of age right now and dont know when will they start to spawn so just wondering if your lil' ones spawn in your tank as well...
btw... nice tank.. they dont need sand to spawn right.? pebbles works fine..?
100 fry? How many batches was that 3? I think the most I've gotten out of one of my cichlids was about 25 fry. Granted I've not bred my venustus, and they are quite large. Assume you bred them to sell?
The males (when about 2-3 inches in size) have blue covering their face and they also have dorsal and anal fins that come to a point at the tip. The female does not have the blue color and has more rounded fins
yet again, another person who has fake plants. add some real ones and it will make your aquarium that much better. the plants aren't hard to care for, only needs 8 hours of light per day.
