Hey,
I am new to breeding cichlids and i was hoping to breed a pair of convict cichlids. but i don't have any expierence with them. I have been reading alot about them lately but when I head to my LFS they never have any in so I have to look around for a pair of them. I was wondering if anyone was any good advice for me about breeding them. I have a cycled 20 long tank with a few carved rainbow rocks and some flat grey slate in it. It also has a few fake plants. I'm planning on adding some clay pots for the convicts to breed in. For filteration i have a Bio wheel 170 and and UnderGravel filter. I have the temp at about 82f. I was wondering if I have the right conditions and i would need some help on sexing. I think that the male are less colored and the famales have verticle stripes? Please all of the info on breeding and rasing the fry that you have.
Thanks
