That's what it sounds like to me. They're trying to get their mate's attention. Fresh water can bring that on.

x2 :exactly: Cichlids usually breed when the water is right. If I am wanting cichlids to breed I will prolong the time between a water change. Then do the water change and it is like adding "spanish fly" to the tank. More action going on than Ron Jeremy. :hehe:

How long has it been since your last water change?

I would go with they are breeding due to new water. Watch your females for the lower portion of the mouth to get bigger. When it does they are holding Fry.

Agreed! :exactly:Unless they are flashing against the rocks there is nothing to worry about.
