Well I Have 2 Malawi's On Male And One Female. Latly The Female Has Not Been Eating And Her Jaw Has Become Very Big. I Have Also Noticed That The Male Has And Egg Spot On His Fin. If She Is Carrying They Will Not Survive As I Have 4 Severums Which Will Just Eat The Babies And I Have No Other Tanks To Keep Them In. Im Kinda Exited As We Only Got The Malawi's Like 2 Weeks Ago And Already They Are Breeding :D
And Seeing As Im Only 15 I Just Think Wow Lol :D

Sorri About Quality Of Photos :/

The Tank

your female elctric yellow is holding eggs in her mouth, she will hold them in her mouth for upto 32 days, but normaly spit them around 21 days,you should get a fry saver to put the female into and let her spit the eggs into the fry saver then remove her.
 
Another Question Sorry Guys But When The Babys Are In The FrySaver Does The Mum Need To Be With Them And Do You Need To Feed/Give Them Anything?
