Posted	Red Empress breeding
18-04-2006 12:45 by yanton	My red empress cichlids are breeding as i type this. they are wild caught, the male is stunning, and full size adult fish - looking forward to more babies in a few weeks ... (tempting some marine keepers to defect to malawis)
18-04-2006 12:48 by yanton	My malawi and tanganyikan 6ft aquarium is looking superb. I have loads of rocks for the babies. I curently have some nice leleupi babies, some brichardi, red empress from a previous brood, venustus and loads of pink peacocks - all babies, living with adult fish. The adult fish in the tank just seem to leave the babies alone. I have a real population explosion coming soon. Great hobby eh
18-04-2006 13:04 by paul stevens	Congrats Yanton. cant you put some pics up of them.
18-04-2006 14:02 by Penny1	hi there, i have lots of home bred babies in my tank, and like yours the adults just don't seem to bother with them, i'm sure they would make a tasty snack for some one
18-04-2006 14:08 by Penny1	This is my biggest fish he is about 6 inches long he's a playdead cichlid he's supposed to be really aggressive but no signs of that yet, probably get a nasty surprise one day.
18-04-2006 14:13 by telboy	hi penny,isnt that a jaguar?
18-04-2006 14:38 by tony mcculloch	nice going with the red empress yanton. penny, thats a livingstoni. also a nice fish.
18-04-2006 15:39 by Penny1	yep it is a Livinstoni also known as the sleeper or playdead, coz he lays on the bottom pretending to be dead and when a small fish swims past he eats them. I love this fish he's dead impressive. We got him a mate at the same time, they were both the same size, but he grew massive and the other one stayed tiny, might have something to do with the fact that this one eats a whole block of frozen food in one mouthful
