Link2Hell Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hi MitchDid you get them from a breeder of LFS ?I'm guessing they will be 6 bar Burundi as these arethe cheapest ones due to being the original speciesthat was in the hobbyby your reply I guess you're new to fishkeeping, cichlidsor maybe just Frontosaone of the things that not just cichlid keepers but thehobby in general needs to do is to know what species offish you have, if you can't remember the names then writethem down and keep a data base especially if you wantto breed your fishyou may have read the threads in general regarding buying some fry that ended up looking to be hybrids and unfortunatelythis problem seems to be increasing in the hobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link2Hell Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Hi Mitchwhat size are your fish and do you know if themale/female ratiowhat size tanks and what filtration do you havewhat water buffers are you usingBurundi can start breeding around 10-15 cm femaleand 15-20cm maleyou need pipes or pots one for each fish plus one extrawas the equation I usedthey don't light a bright tank so reduce the hours you have a light on themfeed high protein to condition the females for breeding, standard pellets and they willbreed but extra protein like chopped marinara mix will give higher egg countother than that it's just basic maintenancea lot of guys like high pH but so long as it is around 8pH and has kH of 200-300 ppmthey should do fine not being wild caught Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
