Breeding
African Cichlids
Having trouble getting your Cichlids to spawn, well
considering they can be a bit difficult I’ve gathered some tips I hope are
helpful.
A healthy Cichlid is a breeding Cichlid, so be sure to
have a good filtering system,
with regular water changes that meet the necessary standards of your tank.
“Unhealthy fish don’t mate and considering females don’t eat during incubation
period of the eggs that can be up to four weeks, she will need to be in good
health.”
Keep the Female to male ratio high to insure not just
one female takes the aggression of the male. “Having at least 2 females will
spread the damage an aggressive male can potentially cause. “
Diet is also important so it’s recommended to use good
quality Cichlids food like; “pirulina flake, with supplements of brine shrimp, blood
worms, krill, and plankton.”
“The last thing that I know has helped me and many
others in getting their fish to spawn are caves, you can use clay pots. What’s
important is that they have a place they can hide.”
What is your motivation for breeding
African Cichlids?
