Suggestions on breeding Lab.Fulleborni

I currently have a trio of Fulleborni 1 male and 2 females.I was wanting to try to breed them.Rite now there in my 60g show tank and was wandering what size of tank they would be good to breed in.They are about 2.5" in size any help or advice would really be apriciated.Thanks!

my fishies do good in a 29gl but i wouldnt go any smaller than a 20gl long.

Would a 20H work because I got plans for my 20L and my 29g I want to put all my Jewel cichlids in.

a 29 would be fine for now, but a full grown Fulleborni can reach 6". When fully mature you may run into aggression from the male beating up on the females.

once they mature you are going to need a 40 breeder or bigger for sure!!!

Post some pics once you get started.

So would a 55g divided be ok?

nope the same situation. they are going to need some room. i breed my trio in a 75 gallon.

Ok thanks!

Ok I will.

Yeah. I agree with vman. Diet is very important when breeding. Heavy foods like spirulina, frozen bloodworms, live blackworms, and live or frozen brine shrimp. Also, be more frequent with small water changes. Fish will only breed if the water quality is up to par. Plus, when they do breed, you want to be able to leave the tank alone for a week or so until you have free swimming fry.

Mine started breeding at about 4". They need plenty of hiding spots. I had one male and three females. When a female would hold I put her in a breeding net until she spit.

Now I am breeding 2 types of trewavasae and they are in pairs and breed about once every three months, and I have had no problems. I find both these species to be fairly easy to breed and raise.

Tanks size I would do a 29 for now, but they will need at least a 55 sometime in the near future.

Good luck!

musiccitycichlids... Nice avatar pic.

Could I use a 30L or a 40g breeder tank for now.
