Breeding pair of convict cichlids

Some SA/CA cichlids do put the fish in their mouth when they feel a threat is present. That's probably what you witnessed. When I had neetroplus, after the eggs hatched, anytime I stuck my hand in the tank the mom sucked tthem up and then spit them out when I was out of the way.

Very true. Many/most geos are this way.

Chris, what size tank are they in now? I might get them for kicks and giggles.

if you are interested in Jewel Cichlids we can do trade

I have a pair of convict cichlids that I don't really have a need for and they are starting to get boring. Open to trades or $10 for both. Male is 3+ inches and female is 2-2.5 inches. She has held full term twice and spit swimmers. The first time it was 20+ fry and the second, well you can see from the pic. Sorry but if you want them you gotta come get them, I've been crazy busy at work.

i have about 3 pairs i can throw in... they live in my 75g with oscars, bichir, featherfin syno, and now 2 channel cats! i put them in as fry trying to use them as feeders, now they are adults and breeding themselves! i have noticed the mommas transport the fry in their mouths when they want to move them, but not really keeping them there. these things breed like rabbits. my original female keeps spawning with a big male blood parrot, but i don't think he's fertile since the eggs never hatch.

do you have any convict frys ???????
