Firemouth Cichlid update!

[SAChichlidLover]

Hey everyone!
I thought I’d share how my firemouth’s are doing as they have caused me a lot of stress the past few weeks haha! Anyways they have settled down a lot now and although they still do chase a lot of fish they don’t do this aggressively and have just started to fit in the hierarchy chain.. I’m wondering if it’s even worth moving them now considering they aren’t causing as much trouble but I’m going to wait and see if there’s any more problems in the near future just in case!

If they are happy leave them there. Move the fish that annoy them, rather than move the firemouths.

As it turns out I've just found a large quantity of eggs that the firemouths have layed overnight so I reckon they were being territorial and super aggressive as they were wanting to breed and they have now so this should be fun! Lol

Cool love Firemouths, usually pretty good parents.

Same here! They’re being great! especially with what fish they are in with surprisingly not a single egg has been eaten (yet)
