Jaguar cichlids

Seems there may be some action happening here. If anyone else breeds these guys please comment as this is a first for me. The female's tube is now completely distended.

 

Thanks Reedfish, as im typing they are busy spawning. The slate is overflowing with eggs, eish!!

Will keep an eye for that aggressiveness you mention.

 

very nice, chances are youre female will beat on the male a bit if he gets to close to the eggs and in turn the male might flip keep an eye on them, i breed a cousin of them, parachromis dovii.

 

They still seem to be busy, as both parents are still circling over the slate.

Flipping eggs everywhere.

 

Hopefully it all goes well, and you have fry soon.
Good luck.

 

Seriously, if that male has fertilized all those eggs, im going to need to give him a Bells!!

 

HOLY COW!!!! That's insane!!! I see tank purchases in your future

 

I'm wanting to breed my red shoulder Severums which are currently on a community tank. When did you move your jags to their breeding tank? Or have they always been there?

 

Lol, I'm winging it......I've only owned the fish 11days now and didn't even know their name or sex when they arrived!!

will see how this lot pans out.

 

Haha.. Cool. Luckily you dodged Mother's Day by an uncomfortably thin margin. That kind of spawn deserves diamond jewellery.

 

ssssssshhhhh @Broder not too loud about the diamond jewellery.....my significant better half may get some ideas.....

 

I do also have a breeding pair and it will always look like that when they spawn when the fry are free swimming it wil look like a cloud luky i never had any aggresion problems .

 

Both parents are hovering over the spawning site and are fanning the eggs, for now there doesn't seem to be any aggression.

 

I hear you, but my first hurdle will be to raise a spawn successfully.

Will also give me something to do while I wait patiently for my discus to spawn......

 

Good Luck, keep the posts coming...

 

Those are great looking fish! What size are those two?

 

Thanks, they are a good 25-30cm in length.

 

Cool, Mine is around the 18/20cm size, but I struggle to tell the sex!
