My young pair of Parachromis motaguense 'Red Tiger' F1 recently bred and their fry became free swimming so I took a video and a few pictures.

2 rubbish videos of my young T.helleri F1 from 'Rio Chacamax' this was their second spawn from the group, but the first successful spawn. In the past I have struggled to keep T.helleri like many other people, so I am very happy to succesfully spawn this rare gem. I am currently raising a small number of fry from this very spawn.

A very young pair of exCichlasoma istlanum 'Rio Balsas' with fry.

Excuse the poor video and algae on glass!

A young pair of Thorichthys maculipinnis 'Rio Tepango' with fry, this is their first spawn and are great parents.

Here is my shoal of Jaguars!

Here is video of my wild caught Rocio octofasciata aka Jack Dempsey cichlids. The fish in the video are from Cenote Aktun Ha which is also known as Cenote Car Wash which is located in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. They are protecting wrigglers in a coconut cave. Also in the video is pictures of the Cenote when I visited and another species of cichlid found in the same Cenote.

A wild caught pair of Amatitlania siquia 'Rio Tempisque' defending fry in a community tank. You can see the female collecting fry in her mouth and moving them to safety. Great parental care!

Young adult pair of exCichlasoma festae spawning, there is a lot of eggs inside the plant pot. These are very aggressive fish, common name Red Terror.
Thanks for watching,

My Wild caught pair of exCichlasoma festae aka Red Terrors have spawned, you may not be able to see, but the eggs are in the terracotta pot, there are a lot of eggs, hopefully this spawn will be bigger than the last of around 100 fry.

Sorry about the background noise!

My adult pair of Parachromis managuensis aka Jaguar cichlids aggressively protecting their newly swimming fry. They are in a 7ft by 2ft wide by 18" Tall tank, these will raise the fry to 1-1.5" before I have to remove the fry due to them picking the parents slime coat.

A quick video of my wild caught pair of Caquetaia umbriferus from 'Rio Magdalena' tending to their newly hatched fry. Watch as the female takes the just hatched fry to a separate pit.
