some of the pics were taken last night and one this morning
 
sorry to jack your thread,but mine just did this too again for the 3rd time but my fry never seem to last.Is it common for these to eat their young?
 
it depends on the fish. if it is an incompatible pair, they will likely eat their eggs. and its only the third time right? most cichlids need some practice before they can spawn properly:)
 
congrats,...very cool

how are yours at raising the fry?
 
here are the wigglers,center under the rock,and 2 pics of the parents.sorry for the crappy pics,i need to clean the glass and do a water change

bad,my last few attemps went bad.i had a batch from the first clutch,and the second clutch in the same tank and they ate each other,as well as my convict fry,and i was feeding them crushed food the whole time.this time im gonna leave them with the parents instead of separating them.ill separate them later.so as it happens,both of my convics had their eggs at the same time and now i have alot of fry,though some are in my community tank and im sure they will get eaten by my oscar or sevrum,or even my baby salvini, who knows,maby some will survive.
