[tonilee7]

Hi, My mother inlaw has just recently been givin 2 bullnose cichlids they laid eggs, they hatched and now she has no idea what to do!!!! Take the parents out or leave them in and what do you feed them. What is the best way to look after the new fry.

any info would be great!!! toni

I have no idea what a bullnose cichlid is (do you have the scientific name) but most young cichlid fry should remain with their parents and be fed on small live or frozen foods such as baby brine shrimp until they are large enough to be moved to a grow-out tank. I would suggest you post in the appropriate cichlids forum instead of here as you're much more likely to get replies in that section than in this general tropical chat section . Alternatively, if anyone knows what the scientific name of this fish is, please do reply and, chances are, even if I don't know what it is, I'll be able to find some info on it somewhere (though anyone who knows what it is will also probably have info on it). Also, try searching www.google.com .
