spawn

Hey guys! I went down for the night feeding on my 75 and one of my Cobalt Red Top Zebra females has eggs! About a week after I added the group of six, I started to see a color change in one of the vented females. It was turning into a male color pattern!!! I go downstairs tonight and this fish...

Just wanted to share my excitement. I just caught my young Haplochromis sp. ‘thereuterion’ spawning for the first time. These are endangered CARES fish from Lake Victoria and are roughly the equivalent of Lake Tang's Cyprichromis. Keeping my fingers crossed...

Actually, technically I had two random African cichlids breed in my 55g last year but I could only guess at the parents. I picked up a pair of Apisto. Viejita sp. "Red Neck" from Batfish at their open house earlier this summer. (From what I've read online, Viejita hasn't been imported in years...

Been back in the hobby less than a year now and have only had convicts spawn for me so far (never really tried to breed anything before) so you can imagine I was pretty happy this evening to catch these guys in the act... I knew it was coming.. they have been working on digging out two pits and...

Well I'll be... no sooner do I decide my female checkerboard is NOT a maculatus than the pair goes and spawns. My female is guarding eggs :D. She's a little unprofessional about it, so I don't know if they'll last - as in "I'm guarding eggs, but oh, did you walk up to the tank, are we...

I picked up a pair of Honduran Jags on Sunday, woke on Wed morning and eggs were everywhere. I got home yesterday and half the eggs were gone thanks to the local common pleco which I promptly moved to another tank, two hours later more eggs down... cant wait to see wigglers....:):) Thanks Drew...

My wild pair of Geo. megasema spawned tonight for the first time. I had them for the last couple of years in a 150g with a large Paretroplus dambabe (red Madagascar guy) and some other SA cichlids. They just didn't have the peace that they needed to spawn. Anyway, I transferred them to...

Rainbow Cichlid Spawn

I came home expecting eggs today after doing my new breeding water and diet schedule, and voila! They had eggs. Around 100, much smaller brood but I am still exited!!! I just hope that they don't eat the little fry again! My schedule went like this: Day one: Lower temp and feed all meals frozen...

New firemouth fry!:) So, i was going to empty a tank and setup a tang species tank.. in it i had a firemouth pair.. and some rams along with a couple characins.. as i was draining the tank, i noticed mama fish was acting strange, and always hiding.. i thought she might be holding, but wasnt...

I just went to feed my 29gal, and my Kribs had disappeared. I looked in the urn, and they were, guarding some eggs!!! I saw a few that were in the open light, and they were white! I cannot believe this has already happened after picking the pair Jesse and Christine, I brought them home on...

I have 6 Xystichromis phytophagus that are only an inch at most. Today I witnessed the first spawn. Here are a few shots. Bear in mind that this is in a 15 gallon grow out tank (along with a bunch of Julies), and it's on the bottom shelf of my stand only a few inches off the floor. It is...

I picked up this pair from Rapps just this week. Today I found them guarding eggs. Should I leave the eggs with the parents until they hatch and then relocate the eggs to a breeder tank? Or should I relocate the eggs now? There are other cichlids and plecos in the tank with this pair.

Yesterday I spotted my heroina isonycterina chewing on a baby L129 pleco. I was unable to save it, but I did manage to temporarily save five other babies that were in the cave with their mother. I say temporarily, because over night, they escaped back into the tank from the breeder box (I used...

The wild pair of mirificus festivums that I got from Mike Barber spawned a couple of days ago in my 180g SA community. He brought them back from Peru a couple of years ago, I think. It's an odd couple in that the female is about 4.5" and the male's an inch or so smaller. They eat pellets...

On Friday night I came home to find my Red Devils had laid eggs. This is the first time ever having this happen with any fish. Sorry for the lack of quality pics alls I have is my camera phone Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

Pics of Cutteri pair with eggs. Eggs are under the rock.

Hmm, interesting development of the my GBR spawn last night. As it stands, my GBR pair have been spawning pretty consistantly every 10-12 days. After the 2nd day, all the eggs are gone. This has been happening for the last 8 spawns and on their 9th try, it looks they have made some progress...
