Hi Saturnino,

Yes you can artificially incubate the eggs in what most call a tumbler. There are many different styles, but you can usually make one out of stuff you already have. Sometimes females don't hold to term, it could be because they are too young and just don't have the experience, or the eggs are not fertile. However, if you can't wait and you want to tumble the eggs your self, that is certainly an option.

You can go to any of the DIY areas of most any cichlid forum and there will be diagrams and pictures of tumblers that people have bought or made.

I think this is a good article that you should read about the process:

Here is a picture of the tumbler I use, it is down in the middle of the page.

Hope this helps!
