the pleasure is mine, buddy.
@rimple
thanks yaar.
@vijendra
okay buddy, dont worry, u asked second, so u get the second pair! hehe. i remember the pleasure u gave me that day when u offered the three white clouds to me.
@jack
sure bro. they are in a 15 by 24 by 15 inch tank. the water is medium-soft. i use a hydrosponge air stream filter and make 30% water changes weekly. the tank is full of fish, and this breeding is unplanned. but yes, i feed good food (mentioned in the opening post) and if i have a pair of anyting, it wants to breed. i think mosquito larvae really get them in the mood! i harvest larvae all year. easiest live food.
@ishaan
I am a very faithful and loyal friend, that is the only reason i am 'offering' breeding pairs! Actually, i am being emotionally blackmailed by them, and i am hoping one of them will take pity and let me keep a pair. but the first two are very determined hehe. so this is how this has come about...
@cichlids
thanks for the kind words, buddy! appreicate it no end. coming from the owner of so many tanks, i am flattered. but honestly, the photos are the point-and-shoot kind. Rajiv made me take them and post. This guy was convinced i had all males when i bought the fish, so i had to give him proof! i hope u post your tank pics soon because i am looking forward to them big time.
@Scorpio
okay, okay. sooner or later, i will give u ramirezi. let us see what happens, that tank is stocked with two catfish too, u know ... but they breed like clocks at times.
@Zakk
i have three varieties of worms (starting with microworms) for the time being, been keeping them for a while so i guess i can say i can feed them alright! yes they are excellent parents, the best thing about cichlid behaviour. u should see the male herding his fry.
@maaz
buddy, fry is fry. u wait for them to grow up and then the females become flirts and show red bellies. their dark spot is also marked with blue spots. that is how i sexed them when i purchased. easy but only possible later.
I know what you mean.
