I presume it is more of a display of submission.

Folks, Find the attached video link where you can see the new females trait where they show their belly bottom when the dominant males comes towards them. I have made a video with 3 clippings from 3 new females. "New batch of multi's (female's) trait/actions" https://youtu.be/7s8yUEDfgcE

Now I have an issue on hand, till afternoon none of the adults were bothered about the new batch of smaller multies. Since evening two of the adult females from the previous batch (I had only 3 female) are chasing away the smaller multies. I have put in more shells (in total 91 shells) and...

Folks, Below are the 2 pics with shells. Finally released the fish a while ago. - Took me 3 hours to get 9 adults from my 10gal out of their shells, I used the breeder box removed the net so the multies swim down to the bottom. 5 was a breeze but the last 4 never came out of their shells. - I...

Thanks Dallascowboys16 !!. I agree on the aggression ... my my 10gal though they have their boundaries set, but they some big males hardly care about the smaller ones.

Hi Sara, firstly thanks for the suggestion. The problem with the new lot of 10 multie's which are at the LFS where most of them are just half-an-inch and it's difficult to identify the gender by their size & shape. So the only option is to put all the 10 (new batch) & 9 (old batch) together in...

Hi folks, - As I mentioned earlier that a 39" long "Multies" tank was getting ready, finally done with it. Running the tank for one week with my previous multi's matured tank media. Presently have a very uneven ratio in my 10-gal tank (6 males + 3 females), I was waiting for my LFS to source...

Hi Arget, thanks for the clarity, as of now I have not not added Ocellatus at all, I will be upgrading my tank to 3ft long in the Oct, then I might think of adding Ocellatus (if they are available with any breeder). Secondly my tap water is not hard water, having said that the multies which...

I have Seachem Tanganyika buffer with me but I don't have Seachem Cichlid Lake salt. They usually suggest that I have to use buffer after preferable after the...
