African Cichlid Growth?

[bunzplayer]

I have an African that just recently released her new fry! Was wondering how fast they grow, and when might I be able to put them back in their community tank? This big yellow one, I believe is the dad!

Depends on the tankmates in the community tank. The 2nd picture shows a fish that may be a blue ahli. They eat fry for a living. I would wait until they get to at least 1.5"-2" before putting them back in. With daily/twice daily feedings, figure a couple of months.

I've had 5-6 batches over the last year. I put them back into the main tank when they're 1.5"+

Some still die due to stress but most make it.
