Look's like one of my crimsons from Carole is holding 8O . Lets see for how long.
I milked a girl about 4 weeks ago and got 14 frys. The eggs are very tiny compared to other cichlids.
I currently have 3 holding and another 2 ready to breed.
They are fast buggers to catch. I remove all the rocks and hiding places out of the tank, turn the light off and come back in 2 hours before attempting to catch them. Hope that helps.
Cheers,

Good stuff.... :P
How come every 1 has fry but me :roll: lol
Patience roo is the name of the game .... but maybe - just maybe - you have all the same sex .... just kidding !!!!!!

Carole
Roo if you do have all the same sex you can pop over here I think I have 4 boys and 4 girls. You are welcome to a boy or 2 lol. It is day 2 and still holding. I am going to let her do all the work. I have lots and lots of hiding places for the fry.
Hi Roo,
I have 24 and I wanted to get 4 boys and 20 girls. I ended up with 9 girls and 15 boys. So I'm happy to swap a few boys with your girls too. The boys are a good 6cm+ and are really fat and full of fight. Always flaring up and with colours.
