Pair and fry

Ok, wow. these guys spawned! I was warned that they take a while to settle in and then take a while to mature enough to spawn. Well, I've been feeding them blackworms and cutting their water with RO. When our last speaker (Steve) was here, he looked at the tank and noticed that two had...

I got a group of these from Josh this last go-around of pre-orders. I'm SUPER excited about them. I mean, a BRONZE-COLORED JEWEL?? Too awesome! :lol: They're still settling in, but are starting to posture and display at each other after a waterchange this evening.

I picked up a few of these Jewels recently from Batfish and have had them in a 15 gallon with some Pelvicachromis grow outs so that they can put on a little more size before I put them into a more suitable home. Well they started to color up really nicely last week so I...

My Hemichromis guttatus have been spawning in a community tank about every week or so and I haven't bothered to try to siphon out any fry as of yet. They finally spawned where I can see them, so maybe I'll be able to remove the coconut hut that the eggs are on. We'll see! (And yes, these...

A pair that I got from Sam has finally successfully spawned. I had one pair in a community tank and although I see them spawn regularly....no fry. I put another pair in a heavily planted 29 with some blue tail goodeids and a few other much smaller fish and they spawned within a day or two...

Had a pair of these spawn last night in the 75, moved the parents and half the spawn over to a separate tank and was going to move the rest of the spawn but the Rainbow cichlids that just lost the last of their spawn "adopted" the remaining fry and are fighting all comers. The link will give you...

Hello, I'm new to the site. I have a empty 75gal. and I'm trying to find Hemichromis Fremponi or Elongatus. I live in Washinton DC and I'm trying to stay away from mail order fish. Can anyone point me in the right direction? You can respond to this or You can email me at mrgoldensir@gmail.com.

I believe this is the type of Jewel cichlid I recently got a pair of. Placed them in a 10 gallon tank for holding and they spawned within three days of being in there. :jumpy: :blush: Approximately 80 fry free swimming with the parents. Side note: Pair of Pulcher's still tending to about...
