You have a nice selection going on there mate!

Thank you ! I appreciate that !

Love your energy in your video. You have a new subscriber! I've been having my own cichlid fry myself. I've stripped the female of the eggs and put the eggs into tumblers, as well as put the female in her own tank by herself and have the fry naturally.. Your way of breeding seems to be working great for you! Well done. Love this hobby. More than one way to skin a cat! lol or in this case, raise a fish!

I have 30+ cichlids and 5 of the males are 16cm they all mix very well without aggression. I love feeding them because as soon as you go near the tank they go crazy like you never feed them for a week!

Fire female by the way bro

[@garrettvelez8152]

Excited to see the diversity her and that male will pop out. Should be expecting a high variant of multi color obs, but with the genes of that female they’re gonna be looking really good

[@skeet77777]

How can you tell when they are ready to breed? Is it the size or the age?

[@diybyericbarnes]

I’d say a little of both. At least 3 inches I’d think and probably 10+ months. Almost impossible to tell the difference between males and females.

[@skeet77777]

[@sarahdonnelly6252]

​@DIY ByEricBarnes I had fry but didn't notice in time I'm guessing there about 4 to 8 weeks old only found two but there in there own tank now

[@aszramcentee8864]

my female has already released her babys and i want to put her back in the tank. should i quarantine her for a while since she looks so tired or would that be a problem later when i introduce her back in the main tank?

[@diybyericbarnes]

I would not be surprised if she ate her own baby’s if you put her back in. A quarantine would not be a bad idea just to over feed her a bit for a few days. She’s likely malnourished as to be expected. Might as well do a round of general cure when in quarantine and make sure it’s warm in there. 84+

[@melissazimmer8958]

I am curious if you know anything about females breeding by themselves. I thought that I had a male cichlid but she reproduced on her own. She was the only fish in my tank for a year now I have a baby fish that is I think a year old. And I think she has eggs in her mouth again.

[@diybyericbarnes]

I have never heard of that before lol there is absolutely NO male or other Africans in the tank?

[@Beniboy1]

All the food you're feeding them is protein based? I thought It's only safe to feed vegetable based?

[@PaoutdoorAddict]

No secrets in this at all, worse possible food you can feed, also not handling the fish good at all

[@diybyericbarnes]

Everyone told me I would get haters, honestly didn’t think it would take this long 😂 FINALLY I have my first one !! Thanks man I appreciate you being here 😘
