	Pregant Cichlid...What now?
bhazen Small Fry Posts: 1 Kudos: 1 Votes: 0 Registered: 03-Nov-2004	I have had my 120g tank about a year 10-11 months now and one of my cichlids is HUGE... 1. How long does this take? 2. Should I put her in a seperate breading tank or breading cage? Thanks, Bryan Hazen bryan@realty4less.com

I'd bet that it is just well-fed. What kind of cichlid is it, how large is it, and is it a male or a female? Do you have a picture? Answers to these questions will help determine the actual status of your fish, and help make sure that it is in good health. Welcome to the site!
