G'day i've had a pair of firemouths for about two weeks now and i thought that i'd get some advise on getting them to breed.
I'll do some research of my own but has anyone here have any advice for me?

i've posted a pic here (http://www.thefishtank.com.au/forum/index.php?showtopic=2955&pid=38131&st=0&#entry38131).

Patience! :)

2 weeks may not be long enough for them to have settled in as yet, but then again .... who knows with Cichlids!

I'd keep the water changes up, feed them some good food such as Mysis or Shrimp as well (assuming FM's aren't vego's or anything?).

What I do then, is after fattening them up almost to the point of overfeeding, leave the lights off for an entire day and no food for the day.

The next day, almost certainly I have holding fish. You never know, it might work for you too?
