just getting into fish recently and was wondering if there were any fish people on this forum.. trying to breed some electric blues atm and in my other tank i have some american cichlids and some catfishits been fun so far and im thinking of putting some cards for sale to fund my new hobby haha...
What kind of live food??Make sure you have a lot of rocky hiding spots, also check the ph levels on a regular basis. If you can feed the live food a couple of times a week you should have more luck than most with these guys.

Yeah mate breeding cichlids is probably my main hobby. I have approx 40 tanks with only about 22ish running at the moment (shut a few down;time and winter) Electricity can be a killer but a well insulated fish room helps keep it in control. My biggest display tank is 8 x 2.5 x 2.5.
Eletric blues are probably one of the easier ones to breed, plenty of water changes, good diet and they should breed well, the key is probably to catch your holding female and put her in another tank until she spits or catch her and strip her (don't do this the first time she holds). The fry will grow like crazty with brine shrimp or even NLS Grow formulea. When they start to mature you will need to start removing the males because a highly dominant male can wipe out a tank of juvies pretty quickly.
I would say ACE Forums is the best Aussie forum, there will definatley be the odd crow on there.
Good Luck

The males have the white spot on the back fin yeh??
yeh ive pretty much read up on all that but its good to be assured that the random stuff on the internet is somewhat right.. haha
im limited to my one tank at the moment which is only a 90l jebo tank so prolly cant do much.. really would like to breed firemouths or something a bit harder to find. i just thought id try something easy first and maybe chuck one or 2 into my bigger tank...
ill def check out ace also..
do you breed any harder to find fishlike ebjd or black sevs?
this sounds like an interesting hobby and a experiment worth doing at home haha.
I am tempted to buy a couple gold fish and feed them viagra to see what happens. Maybe some horny goat weed.
$2 a fish surely is worth the try for pure scientific research?
It normally starts with 1 tank and as they breed you then need another tank to keep the fry in and so on and so on and before you know it you have another addiction.
I generally keep African cichlids not American but both these are beautiful fish, on the harder / more expensive ones to breed I have "Gold" Altolamprologus compressiceps / Black Calvus / Cyphotilapia frontos / Callochromis macrops to name a few.
Can't you find any humans to use the Viagra on.......
