  • 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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Gorgeous Sight next Tank for sure..
    Why sand bottom or just you like using sand for bottom...do you have substrate under sand...?? Love your explanation and details...my 100 has South American Cichlids...the Green Terrors breed 4 times in a mixed South American Cichlids successful all time...will eat baby's after Mom Brings them out and they explore
    I didn't have room at the time....ate first batch ....I was ready for next batch to my 55 in my room...as they got Close to Adult Size I traded 40 to local fish store for store credit...next batch I took to the Aquarium store....they entire experience watching breeding feeding....all the new ones I gave alot away to start tanks for friends...It is Awesome to watch mouthbreeders and feed the babes with mom watching me

    • @CichlidBros
      @CichlidBros  2 ปีที่แล้ว

    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
      @CichlidBros  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      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

  • @hookedonfishing2095

    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?

  • @tracieh4935
    @tracieh4935 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    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?

    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.

  • @rpliegos
    @rpliegos 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

    • @CichlidBros
      @CichlidBros  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! Yeah that seems to be the case for me too. Will likely need to have a separate tank for them to be successful

    Male Geophagus tapajos can hold eggs? Learn something new every day! I thought that only the female African Cichlids would be the mouth brooders.

    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!!!
