Help Breeding Tanganyikans

Postby cichlidbreeder on Wed Aug 24, 2005 8:28 pm

Im hoping to breed some sort of tanganyikan cichlid but im not sure what kind. I find the neolamprologus brichardi and family very eye apealing but im havin a hard time getting a pair or a group. Any one have any tips for breeding or are willing to sell. My take is 30 gallons and has many rocks and a few plants. If i do breed them whut should i feed the fry. I would really apreciate any advice.

thanks

PS Is it me or is everyone breeding convicts.

yep , because they breed fast,often and accidental just like brichardi's will ;)



If i do breed them whut should i feed the fry.
crushed flake (plant based is best), decapsulated brine , baby brine and cyclopeeze all work well.

Thanks for the advice. Do you know any sites that sell pairs of tanganyikan cichlids or groups.Is there ne thing small(1-2.5 inches)that is easy to breed.

Any snail with a 1" opening will work. A lot of people in my area just ask stores for the shells from dead apple or turbo snails.
