Loukas42 said:Just live bearers. And I mean I'm setting up a fish room with tanks from 10 to 55.
Loukas42 said:A 30 for only 1 pair of convicts?
Loukas42 said:How many would you reccomend getting for them to pair off?
Anybody here breed cichlids besides angels? Just curious because I want to start soon.
Thanks.
I think before you start looking for fish you should have a plan on what your going to do with all the fry, convicts and jewels are common for a reason. Most LFS's will not accept fish like this and I couldn't give convicts away. Maybe check with your local clubs and stores to see if there is something they might be interested in, otherwise your breeding project will stall before it ever gets started.
I'm currently breeding Sajica, attempting Festae(these guys are insane), Honduran Red Points, and Cutteri from this side of the pond and German Reds, Ngara Flametails, and other Malawi peacocks all sell very well at our swaps, Craigslist, and LFS's.
Have a good gameplan to start with and you'll have much better success, and maybe even make a few bucks.
Loukas42 said:Yes I don't have any experience in breeding and raising fry. So any advice will help. Any bodies point of view is welcome and I will take all into consideration.
What would a good setup be for breeding and easing fry.
And again thanks everybody and keep it coming.
Loukas42 said:Okay I plan in having a couple 10 gallon tanks and getting sponge filters for them.
