Thanks John ! I have two videos T’d up coming soon ! Thank you for being here 🤙🏼

Love your energy in your video. You have a new subscriber! I've been having my own cichlid fry myself. I've stripped the female of the eggs and put the eggs into tumblers, as well as put the female in her own tank by herself and have the fry naturally.. Your way of breeding seems to be working great for you! Well done. Love this hobby. More than one way to skin a cat! lol or in this case, raise a fish!

Thanks man !! I really appreciate that !! And thank you for being here 🤙🏼

I have 30+ cichlids and 5 of the males are 16cm they all mix very well without aggression. I love feeding them because as soon as you go near the tank they go crazy like you never feed them for a week!

🔥🔥🔥

Really cool video bro really enjoyed

my female has already released her babys and i want to put her back in the tank. should i quarantine her for a while since she looks so tired or would that be a problem later when i introduce her back in the main tank?

I would not be surprised if she ate her own baby’s if you put her back in. A quarantine would not be a bad idea just to over feed her a bit for a few days. She’s likely malnourished as to be expected. Might as well do a round of general cure when in quarantine and make sure it’s warm in there. 84+

Looks like there is no much fun while the breeding just starts😊😊😊

You'r super handsome!!!!

How can you tell when they are ready to breed? Is it the size or the age?

I’d say a little of both. At least 3 inches I’d think and probably 10+ months. Almost impossible to tell the difference between males and females.

@@diybyericbarnes a small heater tank filter heater ect and a few hiding places even though it just the two babies or should I say fry I'm new to this I just kept fish never ever had any that breed before

I am curious if you know anything about females breeding by themselves. I thought that I had a male cichlid but she reproduced on her own. She was the only fish in my tank for a year now I have a baby fish that is I think a year old. And I think she has eggs in her mouth again.

Excited to see the diversity her and that male will pop out. Should be expecting a high variant of multi color obs, but with the genes of that female they’re gonna be looking really good

All the food you're feeding them is protein based? I thought It's only safe to feed vegetable based?

No secrets in this at all, worse possible food you can feed, also not handling the fish good at all
