A Few Pics

[Verminator89]

Mine have bred in a tank with angels and alsorts in, however the only aggression was shown between them not to others in the tank. My male EBJD is the most placid fish i've ever owned. He's 8" and wouldnt even touch japonica shrimp, its only my smaller 6" female regular Jack who is boistrous and devours any shrimp i put in the tank. Mine have bred 5 times in the last 14 months, with the fry lasting 5 days maximum so far. Post on here if they do breed. You'll know when your female is primed for breeding as she'll get a dark black/brown banding almost like a convict cichlid across her body, her blue will weaken over this time. The regular cichlid cleaning of a spawning site usually follows

I,ve just had a check through the forum and seen your EBJD. He's a real stunner. The colours on him are perfect

I'll see what I can do walkers. Will check what photos I have at the moment cos the camera needs new batteries which I'll get later.

I'm trying to imagine the salvini, the EBJD and the sev all in one tank together. That would be one riot of colour !!!

Lovely fish BTW !

Far too many fish in the tank but at the moment most are juvenilles. It is quite a colourful tank but at some stage we,ll have to decide what stays and what goes. We have already 5 tanks on the go so to keep them all we'd have to throw our kids and grandson out to make room for more tanks

sounds exactly like my tank with exact the same fish bar the jag and jewels

...... so to keep them all we'd have to throw our kids and grandson out to make room for more tanks

Well, one does have to seriously consider ALL the options.

Excellent photos, salvini is fast becoming one of my favourite cichlids. You've got some amazing fish, very jealous

[bonzo]

Thank you. Theyre meant to be really aggressive but so far we've had no problems apart from him eating the sev eggs

take away the jag convict and replace the firemouth with ellioti add a few other cichids along with the jd's salvini rotkeils gold sevs and you have exactly my tank thats really scary lol

Well the jag and convict are in the naughty tank in the garage so the tanks closer than you think
