Should the fry from mated pairs all be removed from the main tank eventually?
Having read up on livebearers and how it is bad to inbreed, does this hold true for cichlids?
My Sajica cichlid pair have bred and raised over 20 fry which are now nearly all in separate tanks growing on. The 5 smallest I couldn't catch, will the parents eventually reject them, fight with them, breed with them or is it better to remove the whole batch?
There seem to be many articles on the net about breeding cichlids but none I can find on aftercare etc.
If anyone has some relevant links I'd be most grateful.
