Cichlids Breeding Everywhere in the Fish Room!
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Today's video shows three different aquariums with cichlids breeding. I currently have two large display tanks, as well as a fish room setup with more cichlid aquariums, and it was awesome to see three tanks have breeding happening all at once.
There's been a lot of things happening with the aquariums lately, and there's even more to come soon. Can't wait to share more coming soon!

Great babies breeding with your Cichlids. Thanks for sharing.
After watching you video on the shell dwellers I bought some recently in March. They have already bred and are raising fry. Never thought they would have young so fast.

That's great! Happens quick with them!
I love the eb acaras. Same thing happened to me lol. My electric blue acaras did the same to me. They breeded in my 40 gal breeder community fishtank. I moved them to my 20 gal breeder and the fry are nice and healthy.
Congrats on the eggs & fry. My fish room got larger with grow out tanks full of Hemichromis Exsul, Brichardi, OB's, Dragon Bloods, & Venustus. Expecting some Leleupi and Neolamprologous Brevis. Hope some Multis too.

My acaras had babies. I kept one for my 65 galon. Seeing them grow is amazing. Also my shell dwellers went crazy. I started with 6 and have now like 30 in my 33 gal long. I have had to sell like 10 because if not i would have had like 40 and like you said would be over populated lol.
Love the videos and I hope you have lots of fun watching the babies grow out, I am new to your channel and I am enjoying it very much so far and please do a video on the Severum fish in your tanks. Thank You 😊.

Hey you should just pull the rock out and drop it in the grow out tank. Good luck!
Baby Tapojos maybe....can't wait to see them!!
Cool. I keep tank dividers of all sizes around so when I see eggs I just install the divider to separate all fish from the eggs and parents. So no need for a separate tank. Works great.
That is very cool !!
Good Stuff Bro....Hoorah!!

Thanks for watching! Would highly recommend the geos. Would just suggest sand substrate since they will sift through sand all day and it’s great to see that natural behavior
👍👍👍

Hi, Great videos. You mentioned you have hard water which is good for African cichlids. What do you do to get soft water for your central and South American cichlids? Thanks
@CichlidBros

Thanks! I don’t have ideal tank parameters for South Americans, but they still thrive/breed without issues. I believe it’s more important to keep ammonia/nitrite/nitrate in check more than chasing PH/Hardness
Question mine had babies what advice for care
Hey buddy I Currently have a cichlid colony mouthbrooders. My question is the females keep producing fry. Am I good just letting them breed and letting the other pick off the babies?
My EBAs have bred 2x and wrecked terror on my tank. No fry survives more than a couple of days.
Just got my first set of Cichlid mixed tank. I think one of the female convicts is pregnant as they were a pair in a tank. I put her in and the other pair was kind of picking on her so moved he to the 10, does the male have to be with her?
When you try to catch the acara babies are you going to use a net or like a syphon?
@CichlidBros
2 жыл бұрын
Might use a small net or container
Hope your Geophagus Tapajos can raise fry. Mine have been breeding a lot in the past months, but the eggs disappear the next day, and I have not seen any fry at all, so I guess they eat the eggs. In my case I have 2 males and 6 females, and the females seem to get very competitive and do not allow the breeding pair to care for the eggs. Might have to prepare a separate tank for a pair

Thanks! Yeah that seems to be the case for me too. Will likely need to have a separate tank for them to be successful
Completely off subject but I believe it’s be seen in the past you mentioning and using a shower scrubber to clean the inside glass on your aquariums. Any chance I could get more info on this?

Yep, I just ordered a shower scrubber from Amazon. There are plenty of them that would work well
nice. what’s the reason for relocating the nicaraguan ciclid???
@CichlidBros
2 жыл бұрын
She didn’t fit in with the future plans. Not a South American or African cichlid, which are the tank setups I have right now
Male Geophagus tapajos can hold eggs? Learn something new every day! I thought that only the female African Cichlids would be the mouth brooders.
My Oscar’s spawned last night. Should I move the eggs to a grow out tank or let the parents take care of them. I purchased a kit to hatch brine shrimp for them once the egg sack is absorbed.

Moving to another tank would be the safe route
Do you rescue fish. I have a 2 year old Oscar im local. I shop at aquarium adventure in Hoffman estates

Occasionally we do, but can’t help at this time unfortunately
Can you not just pull the rock out now with the eggs on it and move it to another tank ?

Yea but you could risk moving eggs before they’re fertilized
Why don’t you take the rock out? That’s what I do and works everytime

I might try that next time! The parents already moved the eggs into a small pit and have some starting to hatch

I got convict cichlids that breed like crazy, had to take 2nd batch out or they'd be overruning my 65gallon tank!! There are after about ~6 weeks time 4-7 of the little ones still alive, saw 7 about a week ago but only ~4 lately, but they might be hiding around, their 2nd batch was inside a lamp decoration that i removed and took eggs away or i dunno, looks like they might set a 3rd batch soon!!!
