TJK1818 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Anyone who breeds cuckoo catfish, do you find that Malawi cichlid hosts have a better success rate than Tanganyikan hosts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 @TJK1818 Hi and welcome to ACE forums being as Malawis and Victorians in most cases is a less expensive fish than most Tangs people use these mainly as the catfish doesn't care All the breeders I know use young fish that have just started breeding as they seem to realise what the catfish are up to Victorian Haplochromides will work as all the males want to do is spawn and they will start at an early age Malawi Mbuna, Haplochromides and Aulonacara are also used Seeing as the catfish predate on the eggs and fry of the host any hybrid can be used as a cost effective incubator Hope this helps and good luck if you haven't read this it may be of assistance also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
