T Duboisi - been doing the dance for 3 days, woke up this morning to first mouthful for this colony. Another female with tube down so hopefully will have 2 mouthfuls shortly.

dano agreed

i recently purchased what i was told 5 x female Mooris about 6 months ago they are all between 5 - 7 cms and in the last 3 of them are holding!!! (one spat her eggs out though) so much for the 2 year wait!!!!!

[Bowdy]

How big are the Venustus you have with your moorii. If there in
The same tank how can you be sure the mouthfulls arnt hybrid????

My Oreochromis tanganicae spawned on the 19th, she is still holding.

[Dr_Pat]

Common Bristlenose. Spawned the same day I put a couple of those terracotta logs I got from aquotix in the tank. Thoroughly recommend them. (and yes, I know BN are not all that exciting but im just getting back into breeding and getting something a bit more interesting first thing next year) ;-)

[Neddy]

Awoke this morning to find my green terrors have a decent size patch of eggs in the holey rock cave..very surprised as I've only had then for two weeks and they are still quite small, female would be pushing 7cm! See what happens, yay!

[terboz123]

Bowdy once again i dont see you qestioning every one else posts? there are meny of other threads saying they have more then one speceies per tank. do you question everything they say?

i have venustus and moori, in the one tank. the sex ratio of the venesutus is 1m 6 f , the mooris at this stage its looking like 3m 6 f, the mooris breading patch of tank is one end, and the venustus at the other, i dont seem much interactoin between the two species and reguarley see the mooris dancing with the mooris etc etc

now im not that experienced when it comes to breeding and neither are you from what i gather, your just starting as well by the sounds of it (i could be wrong) but if i see the species dancing with one another , how can they be cross's.plenty of other users ive read threads saying have 3 different species etc etc

I do my research bowdy, spend a bit of time on PCS, and other forums going through threads, I have no intentions of x breeding fish, and dont want to at all, as i asked in a previous thread a couple months back, what was the best way to get red of X's, when i get my first batch of fry when i got back from europe.


my 2 cents bowdy.

Dont want to interfere but i recently fed a whole bunch of moorii x livingstoni hybrids to my mangrove jack, so its very possible and it does indeed happen. Just because you dont see it happen doesnt mean that it doesn't. Can't hurt to seperate them into species tanks or partition them if you're intending to sell them off

[Bowdy]

Hey hey chill out man I'm only asking because yes I am sort of new and I have a great interest in keeping the species true because at the end of the day isn't that what we are about with most species of cichlid.
If I have offended you in any way I am very sorry and il be the first to buy you a beer.
But I will be honest and say if you intend on breeding your cichlids then keeping different species in the same tank that have an extremely high reputation of x breeding together is very irasponsable ( in my opinion ) maybe you should think about separating them in the future. And again I'm sorry if I have offended you but I to want to do my small part in preserving the hobby for the future.

Cheers.
