I rearranged this tank and realized that my yellow labs have been breeding, there alot of fish in this tank so i cant believe that these babies are surviving. I seen 7 yellow lab fry and i have the pic of one, look very closly in the middle of the pic and you can see it.

They werent in there at first, when i rearranged the tank 2 days ago thats when i found the fry. I just put the shells in there because im getting some multifasiatus.
 
They are usually pretty good at laying low and growing out. If you go with out feeding your fish for a while (vacation) you could find them missing but for the most part they should grow out. I keep predator haps and they would scoop those up in a second. I'll never forget the time i was trying to pull out a red empress female out of the tank and she spit some of the fry in freight and watching my 1" buccochromis scoop them up with joy!
 
Lol, sounds like i need to feed my fish good. I feed them pretty good, i feed 4 times a day with flakes in the morning, then brine shrimp, cichlid gold, and black worms.
