I bought 3 what I thought were good size gold severums from WUW. I guessed that I had 2 males and a female. The 2 males have the spotting on the face where the female didn't. Then yesterday I noticed some sand moved from the front right corner of the tank. When I just fed them I noticed only 2 severums eating. When I went in the search of the third, she's in the back guarding a clutch of eggs. These are in the hundred community tank with angels, dojos, and gourami. Needless to say, the other fish are on the other half of the tank. Hopefully I can snitch some babies from them before they dissappear. Yes Jack, pictures please.

Pics or it did not happen! Congrats by the way and have a happy and safe new year's eve.

Severums are one of the SA cichlids I have never spawned! I saw some real nice Kyhole cichlids today and they are another I have not spawned...yet!

Where were the keyholes? I've been thinking about picking some of those up again.

It is a secret...

Actually they are in a little shop in Bolivar.

Guess it didn't happen. The eggs started fungusing and mom has them all about gone.

Make sure she did not pull them and is hiding them in a corner or under a rock. I have had some big cichlids do that lately. A cat and mouse deal with the fry. Makes it fun. If they are gone, better luck next spawn.

I doubt she's hidden them. Last night and this morning, she's all over the tank. If I could sell the black knife I'd have a tank for the pair.

From what I have read, it is not uncommon for the gold severums to be sterile. I hope yours are not.

well once I can get them moved to their own tank, we'll know for sure.
