spawn

I got a juvenile group of Protomelas taeniolatus - Fire Blue at the convention in Milwaukee last year. I've been growing them out in a 40B for the last several months with some Placidochromis electra and they really started to color up over the winter. The group is 1 male, 1 sub-male and 4...

w00t! :cool: I picked up a large group of gold headed A. compressiceps last fall from Julie (Thanks again!). I've had them in the 75 community - 8 total and they appear to be balanced 4/4 M/F. They share the tank with Cyp leptosoma Utinta and Paracyp nigripinis. The largest of the males are...

I know, it's been forever since I've posted here! Life has had me on a real roller coaster ride! But, I had to make time to let you all know that this afternoon my beautiful Blue and his lovely little mate laid their first spawn. I also noted, I forgot to reup my membership... that needs to...

I'll be really happy if any of the 10 species of Apistogrammas I have breed. All of them started as juveniles and nearly all are now of sufficient size. Also have a number of uncommon Corydoras species I'd like to see lay eggs, hopefully be able to keep the fungus off long enough for them to...

...she and her mate have been going through the motions for over a month. Her belly is hugely swollen and she is increasingly prone to self-hypnosis before smooth surfaces. About ten days she stopped eating and I was thinking about dumping her back into a community tank in hopes of breaking...

After growing these guys up from 1.5" over the last year+, I finally got these guys to start doing their thing. Had a couple of holding females in the past, but never held for more than a couple of days. Pulled one female yesterday, stripped 20 fry from one and currently have another holding...

These first time parents are doing a wonderful job protecting the fry. Dad is much more active on guard duty. They have not really eaten in a couple weeks and are skinny, especially the female. http://s453.photobucket.com/albums/qq257/zz430t56/?action=view&current=MVI_7423. mp4 ...Bill...

One of the advantages of having 20 longs with the short end out is that you can pack a lot of tanks in a small space. One disadvantage, especially if there is only ambient lighting in the room, is that you can't really see what's going on in the back of the tank. I've been growing out some...

Well since my Nics were lip locking over a week ago I havn't seen them much. They are both in the back right corner. Havnt seen the female at all and the male can be seen slightly. They havn't eaten at all. I have had this pair for almost two years (since babies) and had given up hope on...

...so the young pair of Cichlasoma bimaculatus (wild ones from Suriname) that I got from last month's Jeff Rapps group buy have spawned in their 20 long quarantine tank... They're about 3" each. The babies are quite small but have an interesting spotted pattern. The parents seem to be doing...

My ACA C.A.R.E.S. Pyxichromis Orthostoma spawned :D. I notice the male flashing unbelievable colors and chasing females in to caves for the past week or two. The other day I went to feed them and one female was going after the food but she would not open her mouth... The first thing I thought...

...so I got a pair of these guys from Julie (thanks to Tony for bringing them back for me!)... Mine are a lot smaller than this but you get the idea: http://www.cichlidae.com/gallery/species.php?s=1214 I dropped them in a divided 2'x2'x1' tank with some PVC pieces, a little sand and a couple...

I got 7 gold Occies over a year ago from Jose who got them from Sarah. I've had Africans spawn all the time in my tank, but these guys never did for me. Last night I found bunch of tiny babies. Very exciting. :D They are my 7 year old daughter's fish and she is very excited as well. Very...

Well we had this pair lay eggs and then they are now free swimming:):):)

I was going to revive the old thread and add to it, but it had too many posts. Here it is if anyone's interested: http://www.capitalcichlids.org/forums/showthread.php?t=4585 Anyhow, I was doing a water change on Saturday and saw the clowns going nuts guarding the area where they spawned...

I have three Nimbochromis venustus in my 180 gallon tank - two males and one female. I've raised the large male from about 1.5" for about 6 years. He sports a lot of color all the time, but despite his age, is only about 8" long. I believe that this is because he was a bit stunted early on...

Amatitlania is the new name for the "convicts"... and there are now four species (with a varient in each collection location, kinda like peacocks): nigrofasciatus, siquia, kanna and coatepeque. Honduran Red Points and some others are still not formally described I have (among others) a...

My firemouths spawned yesterday! first spawn! when should I expect the eggs to hatch?

MY PAIR SPAWNED TODAY! I CAME HOME FROM WORK AND THE MALE WAS GUARDING THE POT WHILE SHE WAS INSIDE FANNING EGGS. ITS IN A BAD SPOT BUT ILL TRY TO GET PICS. SHE LAID THEM ALMOST ON THE ROOF OF THE POT ALMOST OUT OF VIEW IN A SHADOW. I'M EXCITED!

My super red male kribensis has spawned with my yellow krib female. They dug under the glossostigma and flourite at the front of my 54 corner and have laid the eggs against the glass. The parents are taking turns guarding the eggs.
