HOW TO: strip & grow out African Cichlid Fry! | Hints & tips

#africancichlids #strippingafricancichlids #howto
In todays video we strip a holding African cichlid female and begin the process of growing out around 25-30 fry.
We show you everything from catching the female, stripping her, tumbling the eggs/fry and growing them out to a sellable size! All equipment used in this process is linked below!
If you have any questions and/or thoughts on this, please let me know! I'd be interested to see if other African cichlid breeders use other equipment and/or processes in order to breed these fish.

Love your vids mate, keep the malawi vids coming from dublin ireland 💪💪

So funny, we call these Bobby pins in the USA. And I use one to strip my females. 😂
I bought some tumblers that have an air stone on the top and a sponge filter on the bottom. It’s nice because I strip into a brooding box, then just dump into the tumbler. The water flows though the bottom due to the filter

Great 👍 breeding setup you’ve got there. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Good day !

[@cichlidscape]

Always a good day saving fish jay👍🏻 I’m glad i caught them when I did as the bigger fish in the tank would have snacked on them once the mother released them. Thanks for watching!

Hi there
I want to start breeding cichlids to sell
I don't have a high budget so I want to start of with 3 females and 1 male
Will this be fine and do they have to be the same species

[@kevondavis1966]

I'm in NYC let me know when they are ready would love a group of females if possible

[@-AndrewR]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@Ashleyapples]

what kinda food do you feed them?
\

[@cichlidscape]

You can use fry food or simply crushed up cichlid flakes. They will eat those too👍🏻 they also like algae wafers I’ve found. Gives them a food source for a little longer you know👍🏻

[@Andrew-uq5pv]

My peacock and African cichlid had babies and i saved 5-10 from the filter. They're in a water bottle floating in the tank. How can i save them and keep them?

[@cichlidscape]

You can either put them in a smaller tank or get a fry net/container from a LFS. If you don’t have a spare tank, that’s what I would advise👍🏻 good luck!

[@smartxerox1000]

video is not visible do proper recording (explain again exact procedure of relase the fry )

[@cichlidscape]

2:45 in you can see how to do it. I do have another video on my channel showing this too. Feel free to check it out👍🏻

[@rynethewoz1713]

You don't need a bobby pinn to do it just catch sake in a bowl in water and the babies will come out

[@cichlidscape]

Yeah I’ve seen the shaking method. I just prefer this way. Personal preference I guess👍🏻
