Unfortunately that can do it, especially in a smaller tank. Did you check you water parameters just in case?

Yep, they are fine. Im out of Nitrate testing equipment, but with weekly gravel vac's, I don't see them as a problem.

Stats:
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: N/A
Ph: 8.6
Kh/Gh: N/A

Cool. Guess you'll just have to assume it was aggression. Just have to be careful with the next one.

I just recently purchased a Yellow Lab female that is carrying from the LFS, She is still holding and is a lone in a tank to herself I will keep an eye on her to see if the samething happens which I am hopping it doesnt happen.

I talked to the man who I had left to take of the fry while I was gone, and he said they are all alive and well. I am going to pick them up sometime this week.

For the best chance of avoiding aggression once you add her to the main tank: 1. be sure to move all or most of the rocks/decor in the main tank around to break up territories; 2. try feeding the fish in the main tank on the opposite end that you add the new fish to; 3. try adding the new fish in the evening and turn the lights off for the rest of the night.

Glad to hear they are doing well, good luck with raising them, and of course we want to see pics of the babies.

There will be pic's. I was intending to pick them up tonight at our fish club meeting, a club member died on the 4th of July from cancer, and out of respect, they have cancelled the meeting. So, it might be Friday or Saturday before I get them. Can't promise the pictures being good quality.

I got the fry today, they are doing well. There are 9 left. They are turning yellow, and some have a black top fin. I will try and post pictures tommorow.
