![]() They repeat this process few times and then the female will hide for about 3 weeks. Firstly a male will choose a spot, mostly some nice flat stone, then the female lays her eggs there, the male will fertilize them and after that the female will collect them into her mouth. Spawning occurred mostly after the hobbyist lowered the water level for a day and then added clean water. At this size they should be about 6 months old, which is the age when they are sexually mature. They start breeding when they are about 5 or 6 cm (1.97 - 2.36 inch) long. BreedingĮlectric yellow cichlid is a mouthbrooder and it is quite normal for them to breed in home aquariums. Their anal and pelvic fins can vary from light black to yellow, so sometimes it is very hard to tell them apart from females, but they still should be bigger than females. Females on the other hand should have yellow dorsal (sometimes it is only lighter black), anal and pelvic fins, and they are smaller. Older males can develop some dirty-looking colouration on their faces. The male’s dorsal fin is black too, but with a yellow edge. He’ll have much brighter yellow colouration, the anal and pelvic fins will be jet-black and longer than females’. The easiest is to identify a dominant male. The male and the female are very similar and the submissive males are even more so. In nature, they can be found in the Lake Malawi between the islands of Charo and Mbowe where they live either in deeper rocky waters, or in shallow waters among high water plants like the Vallisneria's. Enough food should be the amount they eat within 5 minutes if you feed them once a day or 3 minutes if you feed them twice a day. Don’t overfeed, otherwise they’ll get overweight and the water quality will drop too. For greens, give them algae and vegetable flakes and pellets (those containing spirulina are great), from time to time spinach, lettuce, peas, and for meat use life or frozen bloodworms, brine shrimps and some larvae.
