Best Christmas Present! - Aquarium Advice

coldmachineUK · 12-26-2006, 06:55 AM

My holding ps. saulosi female decided to let go today, Boxing Day

The babies are gorgeous! She is guarding them well too

I managed to snap this little one who had ventured off away from his mother! (One of the adult males is in the background, but this isn't his father!)

Not as good quality:

Moved to the Cichlid Forum.

Thanks ff

It would be nice to see all the ram and angel posts moved here too, to save us all time looking across different forums

Gorgeous baby(ies)--congratulations and Merry Christmas. Nice present-did they have tiny red bows on them? THAT would be adorable.

coldmachineUK · 12-26-2006, 08:59 AM

Aww, thanks lisa that made me laugh, little babies with bows on, how cute would that be?! Although, very scary too if I randomly saw that in my tank!!! lol!

If it is general discussion of Angels/Rams/Etc they should be moved here. But breeding of those fish go in the breeding forum. Breeding of Africans go to the Cichlid forum since their technique is unique to Africans.

I'll check the General Discussion forum for posts. Sometimes a few slip through the cracks.

Hehe, it's just 'cause I'm lazy :P lol. And you're right, there's definitely a different 'technique' involved!!!

**Fishyfanatic** · 12-26-2006, 09:09 AM

Nah, they should be moved here anyway.

Have you watched your Africans breed? It truly is a sight to see. Every once in a while I'll see the mating dance. The first time my boss saw it (I moved out 150 into my office) she freaked out and thought the heater had shorted out and it was electrocuting the tank.

Congrats on the fry. They do have some unique behaviours.
