Hi I'm new so bear with me. I have a breeding pair of green or hero serveum cichlids and already have a few 2 week old free swimming fry in another tank. I was wondering if I put the new eggs at wiggler stage with the fry will they eat them ?
 
Hi welcome to the forum :) If your fish are the common Green Severum that means they are Heros Efasciatus. Heros Severus is actually a mouthbrooding fish were as the Efasciatus are not the fry would be left in the open :)
 
Depending on the age of the fry I would say it is likely that they will eat or at least try/ damage them.
 
Could you divide the tank in anyway? To keep the fry separate maybe with some kind of mesh screen?
