Dont use that tumbler if you use a tumbler buy a good one this is trash

You might want to use something a little less sharp than a tooth pick. I watched a breeder in Africa holding the fishes mouth open with his finger. I think he had no problem doing this. You might want to try this to avoid hurting the mouth of your cichlid. 😀

That's what I was thinking. A toothpick? Yikes

And also I have hard time recognizing female cichlid as well. Any tip would be appreciated.

I have two 55 gallon aquariums. After a hospitalization I decided that a good therapy would be to set up the aquariums. I live in S Florida so I just went to a local canal at night and netted 30 cichlids. So it's been a year and several generations of what are very colorless (silver and black bands) fish. So if the posters of this video (Colorful Cichlids) is still reading comments from 2020, I'd like to put all my cichlids back in the canal and buy another variety of mouth brooding cichlid in my aquarium. So this is the question. With your experience, what would be the most exotic, expensive, colorful, mouth brooding cichlid that I could buy on line to restart my aquarium with, and where to buy them. I think a dozen should be sufficient. I don't know if this is true, but when I removed large abusive male cichlids from the tank, it seemed like the females would change into a dominant male. (This is true in the ocean fish called "groupers") Any advice would be very welcomed. And take my mind off of Putin and Ukraine.

What size tank are you using to breed?

Tropheus cichlid and my OB Peacock doing that dance around each other, is that spawning and are they possible to create a hybrid cichlid?

I don't think a Lake Tanganyika cichlid would breed with a Malawai Peacock, but I can't say it would shock me.

What sand are you using here?

Hey today I know this my fish mouth is full. How long should I wait before I put them in a tumbler?

I see 2 dead ones into my egg tumbler do i have to take them out or should i just leave them inside the tumbler? I don't know if it affects the other unharmed fish? Thanks in advance!

If you feel comfortable taking them out go for it, otherwise I wouldn't worry about it too much.

2 of my OBs spawned for the first time (that I know of) this morning. The female is definately holding, and has not eaten during "feeding time" (brine shrimp and krill). How many days should I wait until I strip her of the eggs? - thanks

You can strip her at any time. She will spit them out in about 20 days. If it were me, I'd wait maybe a week and then strip.

What do u do if they are swimming around? They still have their sacs but are swimming…Do I still have to put them in the tumbler?

If they are swimming on their own, I would just put them in either they own aquarium, or block off an area in your current aquarium where the big fish can't eat them.

I also ordered 6 canary yellow ob 1in to 1.25in unsexed

How have you liked the fish you ordered?

Can a female breed with different males?

Absolutely. They are not monogamous.

If you strip them at the right time you dont need a tumbler so you are too early bad info 😂
