Geophagus brasiliensis Fry

Recommended Posts

Hi there everyone. My Geophagus brasiliensis female surprised me today lettin her fry out of the cave. My question is........will it be ok to leave dad in the tank with her and the fry, or should I remove him. Mum is always chasing him away, and picking up her young and taking them back to the cave. Any advise on this please. Thanks

No hard and fast answer on that one. Many people would remove the dad. I have never removed any of my male cichlids though, and sometimes they have turned out to be great parents!

Would be interested to hear what others think.

Essentially you have a choice - let him stay and see what he does, or take him out and not take the risk. If he starts eating the fry, then you know he needs to be removed.

I say, give the dad a chance! :D

LMAO I would love to say I have counted them, but hey the little things will not keep still long enough to do a head count. Theya re doing well now, and I hope they continual to do so. I think there is about 100 after loosing a few to the filter. I will try to do a undated pic in the next few days.
