maxib Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 None of my cichlids have a specific territory. Will they spawn? They all just cruise around where they want, when they want.There are plenty of different spots. They dig in various places...like one fish will dig a hole under a rock then another will cruise in and take the spot. Could I be overstocked?

simy696 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 my guess get another 4footer and separate the species other wise u may get some cross breading also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxib Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 So eventually they will spawn....? Im not worried about crossbreeds cause I wont try to keep fry or sell them or even give them away. They can run the gauntlet and become little fish fingers. I shoulda bit the bullet and got a bigger tank straight up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxib Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Yea. Ive been lookin for a six footer, almost got one for a $100 as well. Phoned the guy and he had just sold it. Soon enough though. I live in a pretty small small unit so I cant keep too many tanks. My 4 footer was only $50 bucks. Scrounged some good timber from building sites too knock up a stand.
