Anyone else's fish enjoying the Spring?

[Charlutz]

Most of my fish didn't breed over the winter. Now that the weather has turned, I've got compressiceps, buescheri, julie, cyp and paracyp fry. My featherfins are going into their mating dances and the activity in my adolescent kilesa and speckleback cyps has picked up a lot. Nothing like a good weather change to shock the fish. :wub:

I had spilirus, lifalli and rainbow cichlids all spawn during the same week. Unfortunately I lost all of their fry when I attempted to place dividers in the tanks. Hopefully they will spawn again soon.

I've had a couple of Apisto spawns but can't say as its the weather or something else. Given the preponderance of prolific activity in your tanks however, seems like yours are definitely in sync with the seasonal change. Nicely done.

I have tons of Julie and leleupi fry in one tank and I just fry in another tank but I'm not sure what which fish spawned, Xmas fulu or brevis kitumba???

I found a Bolivian ram guarding some eggs on a rock last night and also found a few panda Cory eggs in another tank, for the first time in a while. So something is going on. Maybe it's because of spring.

...WC Fields would agree. (Google his name + water + fish if you don't know what I'm talking about).

i got la cieba fry a couple of days ago...

I have some color flashing and snake dancing from my female Crenicichla Atabapo II..!

 

[mscichlid]

Woot! Great news.

My fish are definitely in the mood... My ornatipinnis, multies, n. brevis kavala, platys, mollies, and swords all have fry. The livebearers have been barren since last fall and now all of them are pregnant. My pelvicachromis pulcher (kribensis) are acting amorous with each other as well.

Do you think that my fish in my cave of a fish room downstairs realize that the weather is turning? The temp, humidity and light durations are fairly constant down there. Are the barometric pressure changes enough to set them off?

 

[Jumbie]

Tony if your fish haven't notice as of yet they should within the next few weeks. I am really surprised you don't have any spawning action yet because every time I have been to your house there was always a few fish holding or digging "LOVE HUTS" in the sand. While the weather is getting warmer try doing a cold water change before it rain, it seems to have worked for me.

10-4. I'll give them the cool water treatment. Remember, I mostly keep the "colorful, but easy and stupid" fish, so there's generally at least one holding female in every tank.

There's a few oddball species though that have a pretty good setup/space that haven't bred yet. I always hold my breath walking into the room looking for a first spawn. Hopefully, the warmer weather will give them that final push.

Thanks Josh.

MY JAGS SPAWNED LAST NIGHT!

 

[verbal]

I have a peacock that looks like it is holding. I stripped a few baby labeotropheus.

I think a lot of my fish aren't quite big enough to breed yet.

 

[longstocking]

I have a few holding as well... Cyprichromis cobalt blue... which have bred before but this time she looks like she will hold But, I think that has more to do with redoing their tank.

Feather Fins
Tropheus
Longola Petros

I'm sure I'm not thinking of a few others...
