In this weeks video we take a look at a truly beautiful process! African Cichlid Egg turning into fry over the course of 24 days in a breeding tumbler.
African Cichlids are mouth brooding cichlids who's females hold fertilized eggs in their mouth until they are free swimming after a average period of 25 days. In the wild the Mother will then release the free swimming fry & they will be free to fend for themselves & find food to help them grow.
However in this video we take a look at this amazing process through the use of an egg tumbler meaning that we can see the full growth & progression of these fry as they slowly mature which is awesome to see!
This is a common technique to use when breeding African Cichlids as it puts less stress on the females, as they can eat again & it also is said to increase the amount of eggs/fry you will strip from the female as some may get swallowed in the natural 'tumbling' process!
