Well after 12 days together it happened! Really excited as this is my first time with cichlids.
The female now doesn't leave the eggs apart from the quick swim out of the pot to grab some food, but not more than a few inches out, after watching for over an hour and checking throughout the day the male doesn't go in to the pot at all, he seems to flirt alot with the other two females who are both displaying their breeding colors, when he does go near the pot the female does seem to try and get him to come in but he just doesn't, is this normal? What could be happening? Also shall I move my 6 inch pleco to my parents house incase he eats the eggs at night?
Cheers for any advice
