Is gravel needed for cichlids breeding?

I''m guessing no but just to be 100% sure.<

shouldn''t really make a diff as long as you have some sort of platform for them to do the biz on.........<

Do cichlids
eed on the glass bottom? Or does their reflection scare them. But theres a few other places they should be able to
eed on anyways. fish fish fish fish turkey fish fish gobble

in my limited experience i''ve used a small amount of gravel, which they clear a spot on the glass anyway.<

>even in my electric blue tank, there''s 2-3 inches of gravel, and they have burrowed it right down to the glass.<

I''ve got a friend that
eeds yellows and he doesn''t have gravel in any of the tanks. I think he only has 1 rock in all the
eeding tanks! pretty sparse for the poor old fish but they are churning them out regardless.
