Post breeding

i have a 180 gallon african cichlid community, which my fish are breeding in.  iwould like to save some babies, because they end up getting eaten.  my problem is i cant catch carrying females because the tank is too long and had troo many rocks.  is they some sort of method i can use, like a trap or something? thanks.

Post Re: breeding

hi there johnc,

i have the same problem also but instead of rocks, i have plants. what i do is this..

i use two nets (or if you only have one, use your hand). What I basically do is sorta 'push' the fish into the awaiting net. usually works after a couple of trys.

anybody else out there with a proven method?
