Question
I just got two Nyassy gold chilids and I would want to know if you know anything about breeding them because I can't find any good websites

Answer
Hi Jordan,
  I assume that you got a male and a female?  If so, you don't really have to do anything special to "breed them" -- they do it on their own.  The key is to provide a good environment with clean water.   How large are they?  

  By the way, if they are the species I suspect, then they are  a female mouthbrooding species from Lake Malawi. That means that the female carries the eggs and babies in her mouth.
