Firemouth Spawning Tube?

[kajones]

My pair of firemouths have been showing courting behaviour for a few days now and I have just noticed what looks like a spawning tube on the female. Do I need to worry about the other tankmates? they haven't shown any aggression so far.

cichlids are territorial. They might not show aggression now, but once the eggs are dropepd....I wouldn't be surprised if you had some.
