Discusmadboy Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 No im not going to strip for you lol. i have a female cichlid who has holding eggs in her mouth for a week. I setup a Mini "ER" tank and put her into this tank alone. I can now see in her mouth baby cichlids. i have previously stripped the babies out of her mouth and a previous breeding attempt and they are all fine. this time should i strip the babies out or just let nature do its course ? Also once she does release the fry if i let nature do its course then how long before i have to take her out of the tank before she sees them as food. ?

MarkLB Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 I let nature take its course and leave Mum with her fry until she has put on some condition. None of my females have regarded their fry as food....but maybe I'm lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 let nature take its course is always the option i would choose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malawiman Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 If she's on her own in tank don't strip her. Good to see her releasing them and any sign of danger they go to safety of females mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
