  • African albino cichlid - Is it a mouth brooder?

    I have an african albino that has taken to hiding in a corner of the tank. Doesn't come out for feeding any more. I assume this is a mouth brooding and she is holding, but admit I have no previous experience with these. Tried to get good photos with no success.

    Is this a mouth brooding species?

    really need a pic J.

    Most of the time when a fish hides in the corner and doesn't eat its aggression problems or possibly bloat.

      Couldn't get the video camera on these fish just now. One was doing this vibrating seizure thing while the other was sniffing around the "crotch" area. I am pretty clueless with cichlids, but I remember a description somewhere indicating this was part of a mating ritual. Can't find that thread now.
