In todays video we strip a holding African cichlid female and begin the process of growing out around 25-30 fry.
We show you everything from catching the female, stripping her, tumbling the eggs/fry and growing them out to a sellable size! All equipment used in this process is linked below!
If you have any questions and/or thoughts on this, please let me know! I'd be interested to see if other African cichlid breeders use other equipment and/or processes in order to breed these fish.
Thanks for watching!

So funny, we call these Bobby pins in the USA. And I use one to strip my females. 😂 I bought some tumblers that have an air stone on the top and a sponge filter on the bottom. It’s nice because I strip into a brooding box, then just dump into the tumbler. The water flows though the bottom due to the filter

How long did you keep the fry in the hang on boxes before they all went into the 33?

Always a good day saving fish jay👍🏻 I’m glad i caught them when I did as the bigger fish in the tank would have snacked on them once the mother released them. Thanks for watching!

My peacock and African cichlid had babies and i saved 5-10 from the filter. They're in a water bottle floating in the tank. How can i save them and keep them?

You can either put them in a smaller tank or get a fry net/container from a LFS. If you don’t have a spare tank, that’s what I would advise👍🏻 good luck!

You don't need a bobby pinn to do it just catch sake in a bowl in water and the babies will come out

@cichlidscape 7 ай бұрын

Yeah I’ve seen the shaking method. I just prefer this way. Personal preference I guess👍🏻

what kinda food do you feed them? \

@cichlidscape 8 ай бұрын

You can use fry food or simply crushed up cichlid flakes. They will eat those too👍🏻 they also like algae wafers I’ve found. Gives them a food source for a little longer you know👍🏻
