    New here don't know if I'm in the right section or not? We just bought 2 Ecuadorian Big Headed H Malabaricus <a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.theexoticfish.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&p=56552#p56552" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">viewtopic.php?f=12&p=56552#p56552</a> from a friend of ours a couple months ago. Well I guess we have a breeding pair, our female laid eggs yesterday. Looking for any help info on what should-shouldn't be done. Thanks for any help!

    It is a wolf fish not cichlid. She laid eggs on Friday and they hatched on Sunday. So far so good, we have a bunch of little sperm looking fish(and I mean a BUNCH)

    Hoplias Malabaricus are often called "Wolf Fish or Tiger Fish".

    Correct, but they are not cichlids, I'm about 90% positive on that.
