I'm assuming you want your acei to breed. As DWD said, get your self some terracotta pots, and also have some areas of flat rock. I think if you wanted your acei to breed i'd remove the male johanni as they can become quite dominant. Without any females he could spawn with a different species. Particularly the e-yellow female, considering the johanni females are yellow.

Hello .

Thts great info , but its not my aceis i want to breed , i might be upgrading to a 4 by 2 by 2ft , so i was thinkin of gettin someting for my e yellow and mabye the aceis as the aceis r all male , And about the hole drillin , did u mean drill the holes in the teracotta pots ? , me and my cousin can get some great rocks we find in a creak , they go from flat to ruff as , so how many would u suggest puttin in the tank , like make it like as rocky as the lake they come from or just pots and stuff ,

and i was wonderin wat is betta shell grit or crushed coral , beacuse a friend said a substrate of gravel is really good ???? anyone no anything ???

Thanks Saint Dragon

Toufic,

Cichlids do recognise their own species, but when confronted with a situation where they have no females they resort to the next best thing in their desperation to reproduce.
