Tubes are down. I will try to get pics of the eggs. Rather large eggs.

Fabulous job.
Those eggs look very similar size as those from my Chuco intermedia.
Because mine were in a cichlid community, back in August, I pulled the wrigglers to save them.
They are now this size.

Congrats. As much as I love this fish I cant seem to keep them alive. I always in up with 1 survivor.
There's about a dozen eggs so far. Last time they spawned there was easily 600. I'm thinking of pulling the pot today and hatch artificially. They are in a community tank with lots of other cichlids. Thoughts?
Pulling the fry worked well for me.
I put them all in a 20 gal to grow out, removed some of the largest to BAP at the local club, when about 1 inch, and have been taking out a few here and there to use as dithers in other cichlid tanks.

Not enough eggs to be worth pulling this time around. I'll just see how the parents do this time.
