Alas, the last time these guys bred, i made the mistake of introducing a really peckish peacock bass that totally annilated the entire brood! So, here we are again, round 2! This time around, the midas parents are really ferocious. They're taking out everything else in the tank. They've already killed the peacock bass and ended the life of my synspilum (at last i found the name to this fish!). There's another pair of breeding midas in my tank which i'll have to evacuate asap too, seeing as the parents are consistently chasing them around!
Never knew the midas cichlids were so territorial as brooding parents. To the point that I'm not washing the algaes off my tank walls, afraid of scaring the other fishes into the brooding pair's space!
Parents looking on... babies are eating dried bread and chicken feed (which is what we use to catch these guys)
Makes me wish for a bigger tank that i will accomodate the entire generation plus other fishes! Does anyone know what fly-patterns these fishes takes to? Just started picking up on fly-fishing! :P Bad enough, u'd see the school swimming around, not a single fish would take a bite though! I've tried nymphs without much success though :P
