MarkLB Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Hi all. Several days ago I noticed one of my Aulonocara nyassae females holding so I put her in a 30 litre nursery tank to be on her own. She has now released her fry and has no interest in them. I'm not sure if its relevant but this is her first spawn. When should I seperate her from the fry? I'm worried that she'll eat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiden Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 If you are worried about her eating them I would separate her/or put her back in the main tank. Hopefully the fry wont go back to mum's mouth when you do this :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkLB Posted August 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Do Peacocks have the same maternal behaviour as, say a Melanochromis or other Mbuna? I've seen Johanni mothers herd up their fry and put them back in their mouths for several days. This girl seems indifferent to her fry.
