Please can someone advise...
My female cichlid has just had around 25 or so fry, she was carrying them around in her mouth and i only noticed this weekend. I bought a divider and placed her in there and within 10 mins she released all the fry from her mouth. Only thing now is i dont know what i should do now?? what should i feed the fry? Should i place the mother back with the other fish or leave her with her fry? Any other tips on how to look after them would be much appreciated, Many thanks Paul. |

You can move the female back to your main tank. Below is a great article on feeding and raising mbuna fry. http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/raising_fry.php |
