blackbimmer1972 wants to know:


I’ve got a male gold ram, and want to get him a mate that he’ll pair off with. My understand is the best way to do that is to put several females and other males together for a while, and see who pairs off first. I’ve got a 20 gallon-high tank I’d be using for this project. How long does pairing usually take, assuming these fish are but a few weeks old? Anything I need to think about before diving in, no pun intended?

Thanks.

Patsfan34 asked:


I have 11 african cichlids and I was wondering how can I tell the gals from the guys? I have only had them for about a month and they are doing well, they have plenty of caves but there is one who seems to be a real bully. However, he does get challenged by only one other, but that one gets along with the rest. I just wanna know hw to tell the sexes.
