Does anyone know what the fry and grown fish would look like. seth

I was wondering if Protomelas taeniolatus could breed with PROTOMELAS STEVENI TAIWAN REEF. I only have the 1 steveni taiwan reef that is a female and 3 red empress. ONe red empress is a male and the other two are female. They have been breeding for a couple of months now and it looks like the...

they are a solid color. they may be orangeish yellow. thanks seth

Does anyone know what color red empress fry are. Do they look like the females or are the different at about 1/4-1/2 " in length. I had a red empress that spit her fry but i didn't see them again and i have found 2 yellow fry and wondered if they could be hers or are they mabe the yellow lab...

I have two holding fish. 1 is a 2 inch yellow lab and the other is a 2.5 inch Aulonocara sp. 'Stuartgranti Maleri' Maleri Island. the yellow lab has fry while the other has only eggs. I have a 10 gallon tank with 3 fry from another pair( not sure what they are) they are about .5 inches. Would...

I have a holding yellow lab in my 125 with lots of rockwork. I am wanting to take her out and put her in a 10 by herself so she can release the fry in peace. I tried catching her but with no luck last night. Any ideas on how to do so without stressing her out to much??

Its official. My red empress spit 8 fry out today and they are so flipping cute. I am hoping that the yellow lab will soon do the same. thanks for all your guys help seth

cool thanks. If there is any information you guys think I should know it would be much appreciated thanks again seth

about how long should she hold the fry if she is in fact holding. Is it a different amount of time between the yellow lab and the red empress?

That looks about right but is the center under there lower jaw distended as well. Also The red empress is usually out and everything but it only came out for a minute and went back in. Is that a good sign or a bad sign. thanks seth

I have two fish that look like they could be hold. They have the square jaw and that lower area beneath there chin is distended. Am I correct to think that they may be holding. The Yellow lab is about 2.5 inches maybe a little bigger and it seems to hang out by itself and when feeding happens...

what type of african is it then. any suggestions

here are a couple of crappy pictures of the father. It was bought originally as a convict but maybe they were wrong.. thanks seth

It is not the Jack dempsey at all. it is the african and the convict that are for sure. It isn't a guess. My fiance witnessed the african laying eggs and taking them into her mouth and the convict swimming in front of her and releasing his in-seam-team for her to take into her mouth to...

I will post a picture of the father probably tomorrow to make sure he is a convict. My fiance saw them breeding about 2 months about and we had a batch of 3 from that and she was recently holding when we put her them in a bigger tank and we have 3 from this batch. We are going to get a little...

I was wonderingn if anyone knew what type of cichlid this is. I know the jack dempsey but im not sure of the other. thanks Here is the link http://aquariumadvise.com/viewtopic.php?t=97997&sid=3602d9946703ed6f5186319b27e9f827

The funny thing is that they only produce a couple fry each time. I dont think People will want anything to do with an american african mix...

They only produce 3 to 5 fry at a time. They have done so for about 2-3 years now. most of the time the jack dempsey eats them cause we don't seperate them but about a year ago there were about 5 adults from the african and from the american but we had to take them out cause the tank was to...

what makes it impossible for them to breed. I don't have any pictures at this time but I will try to get some up.

I know african and americans don't mix but these get along. they have been in the same tank for 5 years now and the african and the convict breed. I actually have 3 little babies in the tank right now. My girlfriend started the tank before I came along and had no idea about the two not living...

I have a 45 gallon tank with some rocks in it. not to much and my convict lately has been having scuff marks and some puncture wounds on it and now it eye is all jacked and kinda stays in the corner. It is 4-5 years old now and the other fish in the tank are a pleco, jackdempsey, and an african...

The fish have quit dieing. It has been about 6-7 days without a death. I have checked my levels everyday sometimes twice a day and have had no ammonia or nitrite spikes at all. Not even a little bit. None have died since I was able to quarentine a fish with signs and simptoms. It has since...

The PH is 8.0 and the water is hard. The fish are 2-2.5 inches. I didn't start medicating them until about the 15-16th fish died. I haven't added any salt or anything. I make sure nothing gets in the tank. it has class lids on it that seal up really good. I have lace rock in there but I...

I have posted before with no luck. The ammonia is 0ppm Nitrite is 0ppm and the nitrate is between 10-20ppm. I do 25 % water changes every week and didn't use declore at first but do now but It didn't stop the deaths. . I use and xp3 filter. the Temp is 78-80 degrees. Someone here in town...
