Breeding Dempsey's

[diggler81]

I am new to the breeding thing and I have breeding pair of dempsey's that had a batch of fry about 6 weeks a go and they look like they are about to have another round of eggs. Should remove first batch of fry? They are not showing any aggression at this time but will there be any against own offspring?

If they are trying to spawn again then I would remove those fry.

Even if the parents show no aggression to the fry you currently have, the fry will quickly consume the new babies.

Ive had up to 3 cycles at a time with no problems. Depends on tank size. To be safe though, Id remove the current swimming batch.

I would ask in the CA/SA Cichlids section, not media lounge, might get more responses.
