Hi all! I am new to this list and am interested in breeding dwarf cichlids (hope I sent this to the right place) First here are my water parameters: ph of 6.8, and gh of 50-80 ppm Here are the fish I would like breeding info on: Laetacara Buckelkopf (F1): I have two pair of these in 10 gallon tanks with sponge filters: What temp range is good for breeding? How can I definitively tell male from female? Any info appreciated. Laetacara Thayeri (F0): I have five of these fish in a 29. I know absolutely nothing about these fish, would like any info, esp: breeding Dicrossus Maculatas (F0): I have a trio of these in a heavily planted 20 long. I would dearly love to breed them. Any ideas? How about ideal temp range for breeding? All these fish receive the following foods: Tetramin pro. beef heart recipe I use for my discus, and the occasional live white worm treat. I also own a mated pair of Pelvichromis Taeniatus "Moliwe", but they seem to breed easily enough. Thank you in advance for your attention.
