Altolamprologus calvus: Spawning
Dear Pam, I am attempting to spawn a pair of F-0 Altolamprologus calvus . They are currently housed in an unlit 15 gallon tank with flower pots and rocks with normal cichlid water conditions. I haven't see any breeding behavior. The male is very scittish so I rarely see him at all. Any advice? Erza.

Stripping Lethrinops lethrinus
Dear Pam,
Hooray I have bred my Lethrinops lethrinus pair and its been a couple of weeks that Mom has been incubating her babies. When would be a good time to strip her of her fry?? Is it ever to early to strip the fry?
Sonny

Dear Anne, Congratulations!! It sounds like you definitely have a female holding. The questions everyone wants to know is what to do next.... You can strip her if you so desire but what if she is only holding eggs? Since this sounds like your first experience, and your fishes first. I think you shou...

We've seen females with bulging buccal cavities a few times, but haven't done anything with them, and have never seen ...

Red Empress
Dear Why, Congratulations on spawning the Red Empress; Protomelas similis (formerly Haplochromis )!! The mature dominate males of this species are gorgeous and a colorful addition to anyones tank.

Red Empress
Dear Pam,
I'm breeding Red Empress and have about 12 fry from one spawn. All of the fry except 1 are stripped like the females. The other fry is white or colorless. Another spawn with a different female produced 25 fry with 5 white ones.
Why??

Pseudotropheus lombardoi
Dear Justin, Pseudotropheus lombardoi can breed at that size. They are harem spawners, thought, which means they usually breed in groups; one male to many females. You can breed them one on one, but you will need to keep a close eye on them. If the female is not ready to spawn, the male might kill h...

Pseudotropheus lombardoi
Dear Pam,
I am thinking abut trying to breed a pair of Pseudotropheus lombardoi. the female is about 3.25" and the male is about 3". Will they breed? Also, I have a 5-1/2 gallon tank that I would like to use for the breeding tank. Is it big enough? Thanks,
Justin
