There are many cichlid species with different breeding starts, but most reach sexual maturity and begin breeding at 6 to 8 months, such as the African prince and gold-headed compass, which are relatively early breeders.
Cichlids must pair first; after success move them to another tank to spawn and fertilize on their own. During breeding, keep the water clean.
