Fresh fry!

[sweeed]

Dudes, my jewel cichlids just had babies. What is the best way to handle this situation. I don't want these to die. I guess I could raise them and sell them but I don't have much room. Any help would be appreciated.

If the tank has plenty of cover(rocks, driftwood) and algae growth you should be able to raise a few fry. So leave them with their parents.

Good luck!

My batch of fry was born 2 1/2 weeks ago and are still in with their parents. The only losses that I have had are the ones I have netted out to feed my other fish. Already checked with my LFS and they said they wouldn't even take them for free. They can't sell them.

put an ad on craigslist or on here for free or for a little money and they will be gone before you know it.

I think I just might do that...I did notice today that I have one fry different from all the rest. He is almost completely white while the others are a goldish color. Could it be albino?
