QuestionMy electric blue female just mated with my male nygeria(i think
thats his name). Anyway, i have had a tank for 9 months or so
and none of the fish have matted so far.
I have no idea what to do, but i do know that i have about 2
weeks to figure it out.
If you know anything that could help me i would really
appreciate it. Wow, that was really cool to watch!
Thank you,
Jami
AnswerHi Jami,
It is fascinating, isn't it.
Unfortunately, now you have a tough decision. Those are two different species of cichlid and their breeding will create a hyrid. There are lots of problems with hybrids and you need to decide what to do about the offspring, should any hatch.
I have a page on my website that presents some of the issues:
