ah... very good point. So unlike some other cichlids that will happily form a community/hierarchy. The parents will not like their first spawn which is growing out to be in the area at all!!
I could definetly move them in to a more community type tank 29gal (with small/peaceful species) to...
hatched out some BBS to feed. Have approx 15 or so fry that are growing nicely.
Any suggestions as to what I should do with the tank inhabitants?
The tank is a 10gal. Heavy planted (primarly java moss and algae), and has a large piece of malaysian driftwood (many hiding locations)...

Just as an little update... my female had a defect with both her pectoral fins and died. (along with a number of OTHER A. borellii we ordered from this particular shop)

ack!!!!
hm... ok, I might relocate the 2 AFF into a tank that has more alage in it anyways :)

thanks for the...
I was thinking the same thing :) what does "aff" mean? (another name for a ram?? or a different aggressive cichlid?)

(cory, yoyo loaches, neons, cherry barbs, oto cats, SAE, 1 molly, 2 american flag fish, female betta...
no worries.. thanks. (side note, for some reason I'm not picking up the tags in messages... so isntead of a specific font/size/color... I see the tags...)
So... I have my 2 borellii in my community tank, and well for the most part the male and the female don't hang out much, if at ALL...
have a pair now!!!
well the shipment finally came in and along with a few other club members we now have A. borelli :)

1M 1F, 1M 2F or perhaps even a reverse herium?
Also, will they accept flake food or do they need live?
Thanks for any responses...
