I was wondering y they flipped this pot up a week ago..its like they knew the whole time. They also moved it into the corner from the other side of the tank into the water flow. Crazy lol

Nice, I always love seeing cichlid parental behavior.when they are free swimming you can add first bites or another fry food

Thanks for the tip virgil...i tried to get some brine eggs today as someone else suggested and my guy at the lfs just laughed and said he hasent sold them for years lol so its good to know i have some other options to look for. Would crushed up/powdered flake food work just the same or are these "fry starter" foods something special they really need? Just curious, i have no problem finding what they need in the next few days here. Also when should i pull the fry? I have 2 10's and 2 30's for them.

i think crushed flake will be okay,but i would think dust food for the beginning weeks would give them a better start,IMO.as far as pulling fry,much of what i read says that fry always grow faster with the parents.i have pulled half the fry after a week,and did notice that the fry left with parents did in fact grow better,quicker.another important thing: try to leave half the fry so the parents don't possibly turn against each other.i have had that happen.i read this can happen with many cichlid pairs.good luck,i have 2 little geo. brasilinensis now in with my chocolates

Thanks again virgil for the advice..these guys really seem to be good parents so i may leave the fry for a while this first time and see what happens. When i first saw these fish in the previous owners tank they had a ball of free swimmers around 50-100 and were protecting them against a heavy stocked 150 so i kinda think there gonna be ok for a while . I hope so anyway hah...good advice about the pair turning against eachother aswell i def. Didnt know that could happen.
