Thought I would give an update. Its been about a week since the last post.
My pair have about 200-300 fry i would estimate. They are free swimming pretty well. I've been feeding them finely crushed cichlid flakes and they graze on them once they hit the rocks. I've been doing small water changes and trying to keep the uneaten flakes cleaned up.
Have noticed some cool behavior from the female that I never thought about previously. She keeps scouring the tank for would be food items and bringing them to the fry. I assume this is partly how they would feed in the wild, but never really gave it much thought.
Another thing which i noticed early on was how much she moved the eggs. Any sign of me messing with the tank and she got to work. I noticed this evening that she is still sucking a few up sometimes and moving them as free swimmers. Probably nothing new but I thought was pretty awesome to see her tending to them like that.
Snapped a couple decent pics of them. Her fins are still recovering from her near death tank jump fiasco. She went insane tonight when i turned on the white LEDs.
