cichla monoculus - wild caught from peru

i didnt do anything special to get them to spawn, to my knowledge they normally dont breed at the size there at, was unexpected

1 spawn but i didnt notice in time to save anything from the tankmates

I have been currently trying to breed Pseudotropheus Polits (2M, 5F) for 1month and have had one batch of fry (7 wigglers) and I also have 2 female Polits currently holding. They are housed in a 72 gallon bowfront and when I see signs of holding I place them in 20gal quarantine tanks.
Also I am currently growing out a colony of 11 Tropheus Duboisi(will add more soon to decrease aggression though this isn't recommended) in a 125gal for future breeding purposes and I am growing out a colony of 6 Placidochromis Phenochilus Tanzanians in a 110gal (2M, 4F)!
---All of fish are housed in species only tanks.
 
My first breeding was and accidental and unexpected event. I have a 30 gallon tank with 2 convict cichlids, two fire belly cichlids, two jack dempsys, and a plecostomis. I planted some bulbs in the tank and my two convicts continuously dug them up. I didnt realize they were digging a pit to spawn in so I kept replanting the bulbs and covering the pits. One day my wife and I were gone all day and when we got home we noticed some little specs swimming around, being closely monitored by the parents. I really had no intent on breeding because I thought it would be some increadibly hard process to find a breeding pair, get the tank decor just right, keep the water just so, but I was wrong. Now I have abunch of convict cichlid fry if any one wants some.
