hi everybody welcome again to another episode of peacekeeping jamaica welcome to my channel okay
so this stuff is now um a breeding container for a pair of chromatic region which i have i'm gonna be
showing you uh how i know that uh they're about to well the the female has eggs uh stay with me
okay so i have two chromatically as i said before in in previous video um you can sex the common
cichlid by telling by looking at by observing the color in which they have all right so both are
yellow but one are one one of them is a little bit brighter than the other right the brighter one is
the male and the dollar one is a female all right so how do i know that the female is with the egg
okay so if you look good at the female tummy you'll see like a little silver bulginess right
there all right this silver budginess are eggs that exist within the female and within a week
so um if everything works out okay um it on the male get along i should be getting some fries
okay so the meal the meal is a little bit larger than the female and it's brighter
it's more aggressive right so the male doesn't have any silver area within the stomach
hey it fell the meal doesn't have any silver stuff in the stomach
it's a little bit as i said before it's a little bit more aggressive than the female and in some
cases where the female is not with egg and it has nothing to do it will just chase the
female and beat it to it right so um i actually took the the original female from from from this
container and place it into another container with another meal and that is that just start to breed
and the reason being is that um this male have actually killed about two or three females already
right and sometimes when you actually change them up they it tends to help in their
aggression because they tend to get to know each other so here you have the male and the female
now come on cichlids they grow to an average about probably about three three inches three
and a half inches and they can be tanked with uh live bearers and they also can be tanked with uh
tetra and barb but i advise you that when you're tanking them in touch on bob please ensure that
they uh you have enough touch and have enough bag because you are gonna teacher and bob whenever
they are in a space that they are not in like a group of like five or more they tend to nip
up their tank mates till right um these fish only get really aggressive whenever they're in spawning
mode so they will get really really rude you cannot put these fish with uh let's see peacocks
and emboomer um the the peacocks on the emblem will actually beat it to death as you all know
the peacock is like semi-aggressive while mbuma is regarded as aggressive right uh as i said before
it's small in size so you couldn't even imagine putting it beside even an oscar or even a tilapia
or even a severum because after a while you know the seven goes to probably about six or even seven
inches depending on how you keep it uh so within a few weeks time so i'll try weeks i should say
this uh you might take about seven days i should see eggs and then probably about a week after i
should see uh fries and then i'll give it about two weeks and then i remove the the parent the
male and the female allow the fries to stay there for about four or five weeks and then i
place it into the large container where um about probably about 40 or 50 of them are presently in
uh thank you for stopping by and thank you for watching have a wonderful day peace peace
