RE: [GSAS-Member] Question re: Jewel Cichlids



Probably. They're among the easiest cichlids to breed - I had a pair acquired from a fish club auction (back in the day when fish club BAP programs actually included bringing juveniles to the club for auction) that bred readily, and I *think* their offspring, seriously, were a month to six weeks old when *they* started to breed in the grow out tank.

When the violence level in the tank increases, you'll know they've bred.

Okay, saw them in the store yesterday, they were just silvery, with some nice irridescent marks and the smallest rim of red on some of their fins. Dumped them in a too small, but completely overgrown plant, which seemed to make them very comfortable -- the could be as visible as they wanted to be. Today 2 of them (the largest) are turning bright red already (color seems to be coming from the belly up, so the bottom is redder than the top). Should I take that as a sign that those two are already pairing off?

P.S. I bought several, simply because I was able to negotiate a really good price and thought I'd need to have a group for a while before any paired off, so anyone who would like a few jewel cichlids, please let me know.
