Hi Guys,

I have a tank set up with 7 fronts all about 6-10 inchs in size. 4 of them were added last week. In the tank i have 5 other small cichlids...one being a green terror that is about 3 inches in size.

Either way, last night eggs showed up on one of the rocks! thought this was great but the green terror is protecting these things like no other!!!
should i take him out? are these fronts eggs? my old cichlids never had eggs, just had them in there mouth and that was it. I want to make sure if they are front eggs, that it will be a front mother and father.

Thanks i advance.
 
Ok since the fronts are mouth brooders, these eggs are from one of the other cichlids. Is the greet terror a female who has laid eggs then? I was told it was a male based on the bright orange on the tail...
 
ok, just did some searching in other forums. Guess i was told wrong, its a female GT and she has laid eggs. Shes goin to be pissed when none of them want to fertilize the eggs.
 
The only clear distinction of male and female GT's is that the males develop a nice hump on their head and there colors shine a bit more, but that's only at full maturity.
