I had a pair of Red Warrior Flowerhorn spawn for me several times and the most recent spawn approximately one month ago yielded me about 200 albino-phase red warriors. They show beautiful red and orange coloration on a yellow and white background. They all show their fathers red eyes who is from a Red Devil x Salvini cross.

I have kept 150 of them to raise up in a 10,000 gallon breeding tank for next season.
Some are showing more extreme colors than others do to an experimentation with food. I have learned that a new product that Hikari has released along with a supplement in water conditions by API yields tremendous growth and color responses.

As far as I know, these little guys are the first albino flowerhorns in captivity and I'm hoping to begin selling some within the next two months.

I have been breeding their parents for nearly a year and this is the first albino spawn.

Parents are in 4,000 gallon tank with an african cichlid mix for substrate. Paired with them are two arrowanas and a 22-inch stingray. The tank is highly furnished with driftwood and slate and live plants.

If anyone has questions regarding the breeding of larger cichlids and any large fish feel free to send me a message; I would be glad to help!

Species: Angels, guppys,


How many: 1 breeding pair of Angels, 1 male and 6 female guppys

How long trying: Angels about 12 months, guppys for about 3 years

Any successful spawns already: Angels no but I have had about 20-30 batches of eggs that they keep eating, Guppys yes too many to count lol.

Set up: Angels in a 30 gal breeding tank, guppys in a 10 gal both with pea gravel substrate

Any triggers/other information : I'm going to try to remove the angels next time they lay eggs and see how that works out. as for guppys, over feed them with a high quality food and they will not eat all of the fry. also have tons of floating plants for the fry to hide in

watcha got...Too many guppys that grow too damn slow for feeders anymore, going to try to breed convicts next.
 
Species: Jack Dempsey

How many: 2 [Parents} a hundred + Fry

How long trying: Well.. I've wanted to for a few years but couldnt seem to find a female. I noticed a big pretty dempsey alone in a tank at exotic aquatics about a week ago so i braught [her] home. Now i have a million fish babies :nilly:

Any successful spawns already: See above?

Set up: 55 gallon

Any triggers/other information : The parents act really weird when you get close to the tank or make any sudden movements they freak out . Its like theyre trying to jump out almost.

watcha got... Other then the dempseys.. I have a 45 tall setup with a flowerhorn. A 29 with a red devil. 20 long [zebra ciclid] 90 gallon assorted mostly severums [they are my fav] I have a 40 something [?] long with a beautiful texas ciclid that i have had for about 4 years with some of my smaller dempseys and jeweled cichlid. I also have a 75 gallon with assorted africans. Im looking to find a 150 for just severums.
