My pair of Blue Gene/Gold Gene Dempseys spawned again(been 4 weeks since the last time).Eggs have not hatched yet but when they do I have decided to leave parents with fry this time.I have heard that the parents will help in the feeding of their fry.Last time I removed parents and I lost all the fry.This may have to do with the food I was giving them,Frozen baby brine shrimp,hakari first food,and crushed flakes.Don't know.I ordered some decapsulated baby brine shrimp online,which was recommended by someone on another forum.He feeds all his new cichlid fry this and they do just fine.It's also a lot less work than feeding live BBS.The parents are alone in a 46 gallon tank with 1 AC110,1 AC70 and a Rena XP3 all with sponges over the intake tubes filtering it.Should I continue with my weekly water changes or skip a few weeks so I don't disturb them?
