Alan Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 As can be seen by the white colour of the eggs, maybe the parents were thinking that they'd try again. Looks like a lot were infertile. "Let's give the kids some decent tucker." By the way, you are lucky to have got away with it this time, normally when cichlids want to lay and they have babies, they eat the fry before laying the next batch. I know what I'd do now, couple more days with Mum and Dad, then into a kindergarten for the fry. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
