seriously are they breeding? what do i do i have other cichlids in the tank but they both are very defencive too

[newb]

the eggs wont hatch...the best solution, use something and rub the eggs off the rocks and then fill in the pit they have dug. This aggression should pass in a few days. If left alone...this can last a while and they will terrorize your other fish depending on how large your tank is.

why wont the egss hatch? i have a 55 gallon tank.... i have heard of successful eggs by parrots? so is this what they are doing? breeding and laying?

[semper]

They are probably just flashing.

no i noticed small eggs on the ground on side of the covered rock in the tank and they have started to "fan" the eggs what now? what should i watch for now? will they hatch? also two otjer sets of fish in the ank are showing signs of mating dancing togher two jewels and two colbalt sets

If you still have it, I would suggest setting up that 30 gallon tank again and have it ready to separate out fish. Those jewels can get mean when they start breeding.
