killerhusky Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 So today I realised that my male Crimson tide Cichlid had gone from a light grey silverish colour to a really dark almost black colour. Could you guys please explain why this might be happening? And it happened within 2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccal Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 It's breed dress,,,,. Wants to mate,,,, black or any other color flushes is what males do to flaunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerhusky Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Oh ok thanks, that's probably because I've got two other female Crimson tides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccal Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Yep,, these species do like to mate a lot compared to other fish, and it's quite normal for females to run a bit ragged, due to the male getting jiggy with it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
