2 males will fight for territory too, but prob not fatally. You could buy several and then when 2 pair off rehome the others
The problem with new world cichlids is that it's hard to tell m from f until they're older. Africans have tell tale signs pretty young, but some others it's hard to know until the lay eggs. My wife has a red devil alone in a 75 named Tom. Recently discovered after almost a year, Tom is actually Tomina, lol
I don't agree. I had several Firemouths in a 40 gallon, including two males. They flare at each other and fight mouth to mouth but there were never any injuries. And both bred successfully in the same tank. They just need hiding places.
40g breeder tank?I don't agree. I had several Firemouths in a 40 gallon, including two males. They flare at each other and fight mouth to mouth but there were never any injuries. And both bred successfully in the same tank. They just need hiding places.
A 48" or even a 36" tank is better for multiple cichlids imo. In a 30" there really isn't a place to get away from each other when spawning. In the wild, a challenged cichlid would just swim away to another area. But, that's just my 2 cents worth
Oh, I dunno. Mine is with other cichlids, but no other firemouth and he's beautiful
That may be, I dunno. My tank is hazy cuz i treated last week for fin rot on 2 fish and it killed my cycle, but you can kind of make out his colors as he's guarding his flower potView attachment 318236
