Hi all, We knew two of our the lion heads had paired up and made a cave each there own and for some time and made sure everyone kept away, so we figured there was bound to be some eggs hiden with the mum.... We had planned on setting up a tank for them to breed, unfortunitly the fry hatched and bet us to it. Seems to be about 30 odd fry but they are in a tank with Convicts, pinks, electric yellows and of course 2 other lion heads. Will they survive if we leave them in the tank? Im guessing not as would imagine someone will make them into a snack if they stray to far from mum and dad. everyone is waiting eagerly for mum or dad to get distracted. If we manage to move the fry should we move mum and dad with them? Any help would be great, ive searched numerous sights and nothing goes into what to do AFTER the eggs have hatched. Thanks Holly and Zeb

sorry by the time i got home the colour had gone and i thought i would take a pic when it came back but it has not come back thanks all for your help tho

The one that has turned the most orange is a female about 4-4.5cm They were only introduced to the other cichlids in the tank about 3-4weeks ago. The orange seems to have appeared almost over night, its espically coloured around its belly and fin. They were sold as Albinos but are pinks, the colouring around the top fin was most suprising as all the infomation we have so far found has only mentioned the bellies on females. We will get a pic up later today to show the colouring on the scales

hi all any idea why 2 out of 4 of our albino convicts belly and fins are turning orange? thanks Zeb and Holly

thanks :lol:

hello all was wondering if anyone knows if a bluelab truncheon nutrient salt reader is any good for checking the salt in a brackish tank it has on it a reading for CF and one for ppm thanks

i joined the killies ass. last week number 316 . i guees my best choice is to get the epiplatys dagetis thanks for the info

hi barrie would you have any begginer killies ? i was going to buy some epiplatys dagetis of t.m ? would that be a better idear ?

yep i was at the last meeting i was the one having problems with bidding over the young ones my females seem to get on fine but i think one may be a male as it (ill call it for now ) is very aggresive guessing it could be a short finned ? not to shore have to wait and see if it blows bubble nest ?
