How to breed cichlids

In this article you will learn the 5 steps it takes to breeding your Cichlid fish.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. The first thing you need to do is make sure that the cichlids you have in your tank are all of the same temperament. You don't want to buy an aggressive fish like a (Red Devil Cichlid) and put him in with your peaceful fish like an (Electric Yellow). Fish wont breed under stress!!

2. Maintain a clean and healthy habitat by doing a 10 percent water change at least once a week. This is very important.

3. Regulate the temperature at a steady 78 degrees F to encourage breeding.

4. Maintain the pH level of the water for the breed of cichlid you have. Some cichlids do well with tap water. Check your breed.

5. Make sure the cichlids have room to swim around and places to hide when they feel threatened... Scroll down for a helpfull tip... And good luck!

Tips & Warnings

• When you make the 10 percent water change, wait an hour or two then fill the tank up with slightly warmer water. The cichlids will think that it has rained ( noise from water falling from the filter ) along with a warm rain shower.. This triggers breeding.

on 9/2/2009 Yeah! I agree to that! Breeding requires peace and clean environment. And of course, the fish should be out of stress and everything should go along with the enhanced breeding that you can share with them. Make changes that is fish friendly.
