Cuban Cichlid Breeding Project
- Thread starter Roger Mcfish

I keep their water around 80f. My pair are steady breeders but first lay was after a water change with cooler water. Not sure it made any difference.
Male has shown no interest in the female he's been in the tank with. There is a divider in the tank but lately either no interest or even trying to snap at her through the divider. Was going to remove the divider soon but I believe that would be a mistake. So I'll give this a shot for next few months and if it doesn't work out I'll rehome the females and keep him as a wet pet. 
Made a few adjustments to the divider with some holes for the female in case she needed to escape the male and this is what's happening. They are taking a liking to each other a lot and have their little spot. 
Cute little pair, hope all goes well!
Cubans make great parents and for such a large cichlid they’re almost as prolific as convicts imo.

Thanks. I like the more predatory side of them rather than a breeding pair of convicts.
