Hi, so in my 250 litre south american set up my 2 severums have decided to spawn on a coconut shell in the corner, they're protecting them very well but i dont know much about eggs and what i should do so, could you please help...


Thanks
 
This post is a few days old and so likely if the eggs were fertile, should probably be fry by now. If so, then they need to be fed something along the lines of newly hatched brine shrimp, alternatively, some decapsulated brine shrimp (soaked for a bit in some tank water), or if you have none of that available, crush some normal flake food very finely and feed that (again I found soaking in tank water for a few minutes helpful). The parents should look after the fry fairly well, although with a lot of NW cichlids, sometimes it takes a few spawnings to get the parenting right.
