MissSinclair Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 How will I know if my male SGT is ready to breed? The female has gone black underneath and her black bars are very dark..is it possible for one of the African cichlids I have to fertilize her eggs? I'm a novice and this is my first breeding experience..at least I'm pretty sure that's what's happening.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsx Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 The moment you know he is ready is when he breeds, not really any easy was to tell, i don't know what there general breeding size is, if you have a cave or something for them they should breed by themselves, and no your africans should not breed with her.Cheers.

MissSinclair Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 Thanks for that..do you know at what stage should I put the fry into a separate tank? Or should I move them as eggs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsx Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Whenever you like, but yeah if you wanna remove just wait till fry are free swimming easier. I generally left fry with parents unless I was breeding rarer fish lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
