pony-tail Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I had them when I was a kid , quite a personable fish for thier size - easy as convicts to breed and (mine were ) very good parents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilpierre Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I have had these as well, believe me once they start breeding they will not stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talmier Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Yep she was protecting fry, the one in the tank next to her was also looking after fry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny@ageofaquariums Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I have had 3 pairs spawn at the same time in a 2X1X1 Prolific even by cichlid standards. The colour changes are awesome and they dont have the same killer streak as convicts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
