Hey everyone,
So this morning I just found out that my firemouths have bred on this small piece of driftwood and are heavily defending it, so far looking at way over 100 eggs and I'm shocked as I've only had them just over a month so this is very interesting. Do any of you know any good fry feeds? I've read many mixed opinions on what to feed them with some being live brineshrimp and others suggesting with pre made fry foods. Some also suggested that the parents will actually feed the fry? Quite unsure on that subject anyways they are both very good parents and so far have done a great job! Weirdly enough the other cichlids don't seem to be interested in the eggs same with the catfish however I do have a 11 inch floating breeder tank coming tomorrow as I'm worried about my synodontis seeing an easy lunch! Problem with the floating tank is I don't think it would be wise to house the mother in there aswell as it would be too small so I'm actually thinking to just keep them all together and hope for the best!
