The old jag cichlids are preparing a spawning site as I type and she looks ready to burst!..I really thought I was going to have to take one back to the shop but seems like love is in the air..Done a large water change yesterday as I had read that it can help in getting them to spawn..it worked!..Quite good watching them dig out their cave and shimmering around each other..will post some pics later..shouldn't be long before she lays the eggs. _________________

What sort of numbers will she produce?
Can you sell them easy enough or is it a shop job? _________________ TFA

So what size are they now? I know they get big enough to eat!
Yes I bet that male is a stunner in the flesh. (No pun intended!) _________________ YSBRYDOLI POBL, GWELLA LLEOEDD

Both around 5" mark male maybe slightly longer males can reach 18"or so..with females usually smaller.Like chameleons of the fish world always changing colours.. _________________
