Apistogramma Cacatuoides

[Malawi MaD]

Had a pair of these for nearly a year now and iv'e noticed they have babies (hiding in the plant) with the mother keeping an eye on them. My question is the 2 of them seem to be moving the fry about a lot but if i want to keep them alive in the tank what do i do? Does the male eventually eat them or will they raise them to a decent enough size to remove?

Really excited as this is the first time this has happened

I cant help you much as I have never had these fish before but am looking at getting a pair in the future, very soon future in fact. I love these fish and would be great to see some pics! Congratulations with breeding them btw.

Every time I bred them they were good parent raisers. Keep everyone well fed, bbs for the fry, a variety of higher protein foods for the adults.
