I didnt even know what sex it was as I thought it wasn't big enough to be coloured up.. its maybe 6cm.. I cant get a Decent enough look in its mouth, but the bottom of its mouth has droped... I just thought they needed to be bigger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverdollarboy2 Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I'm pretty sure they need to be about 11cm to breed but I don't really know much about cichlids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Sometimes it takes a few goes for them to get it sorted the males usually take longer to actually mature than the females so they will often eat or spit them after a few days because they are infertile.

OutOfAfrica Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Oh wow! I was so suprised when I seen her yesterday. . Be interesting to see if she carries them to full term I hope she does, I have had plenty of 'first timers' hold full term. Sounds like you have been taking great care of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
