Cichlid holding eggs in mouth!!! Now what!!?????

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I see scrubbies in that sump, and possibly a sponge filter. If the sponge filter has been in there for a few weeks, that and a 10g tank are all you need. Or you can just take 1 or 2 of the scrubbies and put that into a small hob filter.
 
Oh those pot scrubers and foam filter have been in there for four months. I just moved some stuff around in the sump ill take a pic and post it. Tell me what you guys think.
 
If she has been holding for about a week, you have around another week, then move her.

Picture on the bottom is showing my drip plate slowing the current down before entering the center chamber.

Ok sweet. Only thing is I'm not sure how long she has been holding? So I'm unsure of when to put her in there. I may just do it now?
 
You can do it now, just look at the sump often.
 
Ok the doors will stay open on the stand and lights on. Thanks for all your input metricliman. Very much appriciated. I'll post some updates of good or bad news. Hopefully good!
