The mouth hatching type breeding of the three lake cichlids, from the beginning of the eggs, about half a month before the mother fish can spit out the small fish. During the egg period, the mother fish will stay away from the fish, and do not eat, using the nutrients in the body to maintain life and hatch young fish. After about half a month, the eggs can hatch out of the small fish, and the mother fish will spit out the small fish. However, sometimes if there is danger, the small fish may swim back to the mother's mouth to avoid danger.
During the egg period, no additional feeding is needed, only a safe, comfortable and stable environment is provided for the female fish to help them hatch young fish. If the water temperature changes suddenly or the lighting conditions change greatly, the mother fish may abandon eggs or swallow eggs. In addition, if you have some experience, you can pick out the eggs from the mouth of the mother fish and breed them separately after the mother fish contains eggs.
When raising three lakes cichlid small fish, it is recommended to use another separate fish tank to raise, do not raise them with some large fish, otherwise they may be eaten by large fish. When breeding, it is recommended to control the water temperature at about 25 C, not too low. Feeding can be done once a day, and feed should be small, such as crushed dry fish food or chopped brine shrimp scraps.
