thx. Gee i did not think it would take that long till the fry left the parents. i will have to find my breeding net and if and when i can catch her then i will more the fry accordingly.

many thx

firemouths ( juvvies ), parrot fish, torpedo barbs. red spotted sev.

 

[helterskelter]

torpedo barbs will be the trouble.
These fish may get most surive, but if u have lots of rock work the fry will hide away and some will survive with no help what so ever.

Helter is right..... those fry are masters of surviving mine are still living in 50 gallon tank three generations and they only rarely get seen by other fish.

my malawi peacock released thier fry after three weeks and so the yellow lab, the warmer the water is the quicker the eggs will hatch.

Whatever you do don't put the female in a breeding net, this will most likely cause her to swallow or spit the eggs early. As the others have said if you have plenty of cover some will probably survive.

hi all. thx again for all your comments. yes there is plenty of cover with rocks, plants and little hide aways. so fingers crossed. i might get some more large pebbles the make some more hiding spaces.

thx once again
