Duane,

I am new

to cichlids and didn't recognize any of the fish you listed (I only have Malawi and looked into

some Tangs) so I did some research. The Ptychochromis oligacanthus is endangered and the

Paretroplus menarambo is extinct in the wild. Keep breeding them.

I'm into

developing new albino peacocks, as I have developed an albino OB Eureka Red Peacock and a albino

Eureka Gold Peacock. The Eureka Gold Peacock 'sparkles' under high light intensity, almost

like a pearlscale angel. The albino OB Eureka Red is an improved form of the albino Eureka Red

Peacock, as it has a darker red body color. I have also developed an absolutely beautiful OB

Peacock line, called 'OB Eureka Red' Peacock. I'm also trying to create an albino

Yellow Lab, which I hope to have within 3-4 months when the fry are old enough to breed. Will see

what happens!

Duane,

Be sure to post what set up you are using and any water

parameters you can provide. It would be helpful for anyone else who is trying to breed these fish.

Maybe someone can provide a little tweaking to help you along also.

The menarambo and lamena are

housed in a 150 gal, pH 7.5, conductivity about 3000mS, salinity about 1.5 ppthousand, 78'F

filtered by a planted sump and homemade protein skimmer with a 1200GPH pump. They share the tank

with some Geo altifrons and constantly spawning T bythobates, fed with veggie high content

foods.
The Ptychos spawned in a 65 run with the same perameters, except the salinity is a

little higher, (3.5 ppt). This tank is in line with a 100 gal that contains some Geo pell/stein(?)

and Stomatepia pindu.
I know protein skimmers are not supposed to work in fresh water, but

the normal tank turbidity is usually around 0.5 (fairly clear) NTU and the waste water from the

skimmer can get as high as 350NTU(dark green), so I know its getting rid of lots of undesirable

stuff.

I have a pair of yellow

labs that I think are trying to breed. Friday I noticed that the female has got a mouthfull of

something and is not eating. Sunday she was being chased by the male a lot and has a small bite in

her tail, so I decided to seperate the female to another tank. I hope I have done the correct

thing. How long will it be untill I see fry?

if she has a mouthfull and not eating, sounds like she is holding.
how long, up to 2

weeks i believe,
would be a good idea to seperate her and best to strip her in guessing.... a

week. (when the fry are loosing their egg sacks.)
been a loooong time since ive bred them, or

convicts albino, pink and black

along with feeders such as sword tail, platties, mollies, etc.

live bearers are great fun for feeding frenzy, especially when you have 50 fish and 200

feeders eating in desperation.
Also a beautiful line of fish is such a joy when you know no

one can adopt your fish strains with delicate waiting as you have done. Ten points to OB

delicacies, how many coulours have seen your fish produce?

Hi All,
I am

currently in Iraq, lol. But at home I am breeding Wild Cyphotilapia "Moba" Gibberosa

(Frontosa), had a spawn a couple of months before I left, so therefore I have a group of juvies

growing from that spawn, over 3" now. Mom held full term, after lots of practice http://cichlid.ipbhost.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif .
Also, I ( by stating "I"

I mean my wife taking care of all the fish while I am away)am breeding Wild Altolamprologus

Compressiceps "Goldhead."

-Joe

TanganyikaJoe
05-17-2007, 11:02 AM
Just a little

update, My wife had an eventful day with the fish yesterday.

She woke up to find that

the goldhead comps had fry in the clay burrito
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b200/TJCichlid/503894382207_0_BG.jpg

But, unfortunately later in the day, I had a peacock hybrid of

some sorts that I bought on a whim at the lfs while I was home on leave. I don't know why, I

just thought he would be fine seeing it was a 300 gallon. Well, he fought with the mama comp and no

more fry later in the day. During a water change, my wife put the hybrid peacock in a bucket of

tank water. After the change she looked at him and he was already dead? from the fight, maybe?
He was a nice looking guy, but I was relieved because he cause to much ruckuss in the tank.

Ok, now here is the good ending, lol.

For one, now that the comps are breeding

in the burrito, I am sure this will not be the last.
And two....... through all this going on

in the tank, during the water change, my wife found a moba frontosa fy in the parent tank. He looks

to be close to two months out of the females mouth.

Sorry for the blurry pic, my wife

said she coul not get a good picture?
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b200/TJCichlid/439077582207_0_BG.jpg

So, needless to say, I am very happy to see my female front has

held full term and released in the parent tank. They have been breeding for about 1 1/2 years, and

I let the females try to hold all times, except once, I was curious and put two eggs in the

tumbler. ONe female held the whole term, like mentioned in my earlier post. http://cichlid.ipbhost.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

05-17-2007, 3:45 PM

most likely they'll spawn again. Congrats on the front fry. Isn't fishkeeping fun? http://cichlid.ipbhost.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

I am breeding

firemouths.
Line breeding for color, Mainly blue and red. Have not got the red to move up

into the body, but am getting incredible bue spangling in the fins and body.

I have a

separate stock(5) of Lac Medina from Rusty Wessel. Am not sure of the Lake name. My memory

stinks;)

Then, I breed lyretail swords(helleri).

I also propagate corals and

keep a large SW system.

08-26-2007, 10:45 AM
Perhaps the most recent

spawn is firemouths. I have about six in the tank. One was getting beat up so he was pulled.

Then I noted four fish had formed tag teams. Two on each side of tank. All four would meet in

middle of tank and flare at each other. This is one beautiful sight. Of course one pair had

spawned.

Some of my fish do not breed for me. Patience is over for some adult

Nimbochromis fuscotaeniatus. They are out of here.

take out the eggs from the main tank? Can i take them out as soon as i see them? or should i wait

a day? I have 2 breeding pairs of Ptycho. Oligs. and both eat their fry/eggs. My orange chromides

bred too but i failed to notice that they had fry while doing my waterchange and vacuumed most of

Frontlover!
I too am a big fam of Frontosas! I would love to see some pics in anew

thread and how you set up their tank!
How blue are they? I would love to set up a really

big tank for these and some other suitable tank mates!</div>

Mr Firemouth-- thanks for the welcome. I realy love the gentle giants, can't get

enough. I currently have them(7 5/f 2/m) in a 180 gallon. Working on getting a camera, maybe santa

will get good to me this year. They are the ziare type which makes them deep blue. When I get the

pics I'll start that new thread so you can see them. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving, you take

care and God bless!!

Well, I let the first cristatus spawn go by

the wayside as I didn't actually see it happen & the most aggressive male in the tank was a

species 'Bangui'. I'm trying to discourage spawning @ present until more space opens

up but am making space for the cristatus to raise a batch or two.

I'm breeding

Rotkiel severums and have a cool hybrid project going to make rainbow king type flowerhorns. I am

on the first generation of Synspillum (dad) and king kong parrot (mom). I want to line breed the

generations to achieve a short body parrot type fish (without the blood parrot head), with

synspillum colors. The first generation is looking pretty cool. A lot of variation in the fry in

body type and color. THere are a few very unique beauties in there too. Can't wait to see what

the second generation will look like.

I am breeding

Geophagus steindachneri (female's holding her 3rd clutch now)


T. moorii "Mpulungu" came home from work tonight, and a female is holding. Just

got this colony last Sunday at the Atlanta Area Aquarium Association's auction.
I am

hoping I'll get a pair out of the six Uaru amphiacanthoides I have. They are the size

that I'm told they should be "getting down to business".
