Look at her tail, its pretty chewed up. Half of it is gone
Males can be so rough sometimes.
Looks like she has her hands (fins?) full with lots of kids! Her tail does look rough but other than that she really looks quite good. She's doing a great job,
Goodluck!

Goodluck!

Hi.. Looks like she's got quite a few to look after.. Thanks for the video and once again congrats.. Sue
Look at all of em', congrats! If you want some new orange heads to introduce fresh genes they're selling some at 1.5-2" at Strictly Fish. 
Man.. I am so sad, I just got home from work and they're all GONE 
I'm not sure if she ate em or scooped them back up in her mouth. Her mouth is clamped and it looks like she is holding them again, but i don't think she can possibly hold ALL of them in her mouth.
Here is an idea of how much fry there was, I snapped these last night after watching her herd all of her fry together.
And look what the male did to her
What do you guys think? I just hope she's holding them...

ahhh, i can see some fry are in her mouth. Hopefully all of them are in there.. I'm kicking myself right now for not seperating her when I had the chance. We'll see if she spits em out.
On another note... The male that i seperated her from has paired up with another one in my main tank, but i don't think i want them in there during breeding time.
Fry's are doing good, she spat them out last night and I moved her back to the main tank this morning.
They look active and are swimming strong. They are eating baby brine shrimp and first bites.
I'll snap some pictures as they grow.
