Hey man, I'm fairly new to this forum, and as of yet I haven't received bunk/garbage info, I sometimes get advice I don't wanna hear, but thats the way it goes, I don't know everything.
If you don't want to heed the advice given, don't, thats cool...But posting threads just to be rude/mean, whatever is a waste of yours and everyones elses time, there's just no need for it.
If your uncomfortable with the advice givien, I'd say take a look around for some people with experience with Cichlids (There is more than one in this forum), and PM them personally, Just a suggestion.

When you see a hole dug out (by the male) in the aquarium, that is the bed for the eggs the female is about to lay. I started with 4 African Chiclids (I don't know their scientific names). 2 died due to moving and getting aquarium back to a stable environment. I have a big purplish/blue male and a smaller bright orange female. The male is VERY aggresive as they are very aggresive fish. Mine started breeding about 6 months ago in a 10 gallon tank. I seperated the female from the male since she had the small fry in her mouth and he was chasing her all over the tank. As soon as I seperated the fish, she started spitting out the baby fries from her mouth. I then put a breeder net to sperate the male and female adults from eating them. They will eat their young to make room for more spawns. Once again the female has more fry in her mouth now. I need a bigger tank and almost getting desperate on dumping the older babies she had a while back into a 55 gallon tank with less aggressive fish in it (Large Angels, Whale Fish, Neon Tetra's, Albino catfish) until I get a bigger tank. here are pics of the babies 1 week after she released them from her mouth hehe - http://www.medieval-knights.net/fish/babies_top_view2.jpg
