Kribensis Eloiris - breeding?

Does anyone have any experience with breeding these dwarf cichlids?

yes )

I knew (hoped) you would have something to say Netmax!!!

They might have started laying eggs by the time you read this. It will
just depend on how soon the female approves the excavation, and what
condition she is in to lay eggs.

The excavation isn't very big, as there is not too much room between the
rock and the bottom of the glass. It is big enough for both of them to fit
in there at the same time, but only just. Will she be ok with this do you
think?
My bet would be that the eggs are laid in the cave under the rock which
they just excavated under. Note that their criteria for spawning sites
is not always where you would like. I've used clay pots, and instead of
going inside, they sometimes go under.

ha, that's funny. these two have been nice enough to dig their cave right at
the front of the tank, facing outwards, so I get a great view of their
progress.

They do lay their eggs on a flat
surface. They might use the glass at the bottom of the tank if they get
that far ;~)

They have managed to get to the glass quite quickly.


They make excellent parents. Once the fry are free-swimming, they will
have more trouble in complete darkness, so you can give them a night
light. Everything else depends on what other fish you have in there with
them.

how many fry do they have? I have a bollivian ram and a few Australian
Gudgeons in with them atm - neither are terribley predatory.
