Flag Festivums

[mkdodd]

hi all ....

my pair of festivums have just laid some eggs in my 100G tank and are going about there parental duties which is fascinating to watch.
my concerns are the other tank mates and what i have to do to avoid a total disaster!
the other fish are ....
8 various gouramis
11 golden barbs
1 geophagus ( 6inch)
2 bala sharks(4-5 inch)
what happens if and when they hatch or do i just let nature take its cousre???

any suggestions?

cheers

I would assume that they will eat the babies, or the tankmates will.. I know it's stressful for parents to try to defend fry in a tank with other fish.. I'd love to see pics if you have any.. festivums are interesting cichlids
