Hey folks, I just setup another 40 breeder and would like to start breeding Yellow Convict Cichlids.  If anyone has a mated pair or maybe 8 or more fry for sale thanks for letting me know!  I could pickup at the April 12 meeting if that works.

Thanks!

I’ve sold hundreds of them locally here to hobbyist breeders. Hopefully someone who has some will see this here and hook you up. Great species!

Thanks Jan!  I imagine folks appreciate your helping propagate the species in our hobby community.  From everything I'm reading, Amatitlania Nanolutea seem like they would do really well in a planted 40 breeder with plenty of caves.  Glenn

I started out with 8 juvies in a 40 Breeder. Once I got a spawning pair. I moved the remaining adult fish on to other hobbyists. Eventually I moved the pair into a 20 long where they produced several more successful broods. They dig quite a bit, so rooting plants don’t do real well. Since most of my tanks have driftwood with Java ferns, bolbitis or moss attached it worked out great. If you can’t find any locally,  I saw them on the Wet Spot list. Good luck!

By coincidence, I have a large piece of Malaysian driftwood in the new 40 with a few java ferns already taking root.  I also have Hornwort and some Frogbit in the tank I picked up at last years HAAS auction.  I also went with black sand for this particular tank since I understand they like to dig.  I'm still looking for some rock, maybe black river slate or other dark/smooth rock.  If I don't hear from anyone in the club that has some juvies to sell in the coming weeks, I'll check out Wet Spot.  I did watch a video tour of their warehouse recently on YT that was pretty cool.  Huge operation.
