C. festae first spawn

[Bobtail]

After 5 days in a bigger aquarium, my Cichlasoma festae spawned today.
Untill five days ago, the were in a smaller species aquarium, where i had a divider between them, or else the male would have killed the female... It is now clear, that they are much better suited in a bigger aquarium, where the male kan chase the Geophagus.

This is their first spawn, and they seem rather calm. - will see if the temperament changes, if the eggs make it untill freeswimming.

Congrats!! Thats looking good, I hope that some of the fry will survive. Btw I am starting to wonder if the tank mates really are Geophagus brasiliensis ? I got to say that they also look damn nice

#4 - I dont know if they are G. brasiliensis or perhaps G. iporangensis? - I just have them, as a buffer-fish. This aquarium is all about my C. festae, and keeping them in the best way.

By the way - the eggs survived the first night.

How is it goin'?

Sadly after 2 days, the eggs was gone. - I guess it is normal for a young couple, not to succeed the first times they spawn. I hope for better luck next time...

Absolutely! They are learning and will become good parents eventually.

Good look with their next try! I agree with Kajjan, they will learn and succeed eventually.

After 3 attempts my festae pair finally had some luck with their breeding. Although i only have about 25 fry, this must count as a succes and hopefully next time they breed, i will get many more.
