I have had my electric yellow cichlids for about two to three months ago. There in a 29 gallon tank and i have four, that are 1.75in,2inch,2.5in,and 3inch. I think taht the 2inch is a female and im not sure about the 1.75in one. the 2.5 inch i am positive is a male almost because it has dark egg spots, and has the pointed dorsal fin at the back, and it has black fins, and someone started saying something about whether black was forming on the dominant ones face, and there is, but i dont know what that means. I added the 3 inch one last and at first the 2.5incher and the 3incher had a liplock war, and some people have said it is a sign of breeding and some say it is fihgting for dominance. the 3incher became the dominant one about a week later. I haven't had any breeding and i am wondering why.
Thanks for reading my story
