hi all,
my 4 fry are big enough to see stripes on (convicts) and mama is showing some bright pretty colors....I'm in trouble ain't i? what are safe tank conditions that would stop breeding?
thanks

Remove the male.. THAT is the only way... she can stay with the fry for a while until they get to big, then one of her sons will spawn with her.. but by then, you should have them gone..  If not, then That WILL happens in 3 mos...

avoid jellybean cichlids they are a convict hybrid and breed just as easily. I have some african dwarf cichlids for sale.
