when i was watching mine spawn last night one had what looked like a pointed end and the other was more tube like is this a good sign that their opposite sexes?

Thanks. I think they're quite beautiful.
Well I didn't intend for them to breed, but they are. I do have a community tank. They guard them pretty well and usually they all turn white before they're eaten, as apposed to being eaten before they have a chance. I don't have the means to give them their own tank sadly.
There is an air tube near the filter there, will that help?
There are some Tetras (neons, I know, but not had a problem with them) black tetras, siscortails, danios and cories. No other Chiclids
I had them in a 75 gal for a while and they never spawned in there. Weird. I do have a 20 gal... not set up and really no where to put it. I might consider it. You think that's the only good chance of getting some fry?
yeah, I can understand that. There's really not much room for the 20, actually I think it's a 29 gallon, and it is tall.
I'm just curious why they end up white before they get eaten. They're not getting fertalized in the first place.
