Cutteri Update

The cutteri eggs didn't make it unfortunately, but the male wasted no time in pairing up with another female, so I switched them into the 10" x 10" x 12" tank that had the male sajica in it. They didn't look too impressed with the move, but now I know they're compatible I can give them a 24" tank to themselves.

Introduction

I have always been fascinated by cichlids. They are among the most stunningly beautiful of fishes; they come in all shapes and sizes (there is a cichlid to suit everyone); and they have some seriously awesome behaviour. Since I started keeping fish 15 years ago I have kept and bred several species, but I never had enough tanks to house all the individual pairs I wanted (and their subsequent fry). In April '08, I was lucky enough to have a space-heated fishroom built into the garage conversion my girlfriend and I were having done. This diary is my way of keeping track of all my fish breeding projects. I hope you find it informative!
