I doubt if any will be there tomorrow, but interesting to see the small cloud today.

Took another video today, and was surprised at the size of the remaining school of fry.
Went high tech using my trusty flashlight to get the school of fry into view.

I would imagine a few will survive with the amount of cover they have, interested to see how it turns out.

Maybe a few, and I wouldn't be surprised if some end up overflowing into the sump, where there's plenty of algae and other stuff to eat.

Some stills, somewhat easier to see detail.
I had to torque out the brightness a little to bring the fry into view.

Very cool, first cichlid I ever caught 20+ years ago, and never saw them ever again

I thought it might be interesting to compare spawning/fry raising coloration with normal coloration side by side.
