congrats!!!! I have a group of juvies also and they are awsome fish to have cant wait till mine get to your pair size. Where did you get the pair from?
 
Thanks guys, i purchased them from Jeff Rapps. I got them a month ago and they were 4inches now the male is 5inches and the female is 4.5inches, I would say that they are 8months old but not sure. I cant believe they are good parents because they are so young.
 
I'd recommend pulling some of the fry, if you want to keep any.
All the pairs that I've kept seemed to make the fry disappear overnight.

I think they should be fine for awhile im eventually going to pull them but not right now. If you pull the fry too early the pair will fight thinking that one another ate the fry and will put a hamper on their bond.
 
Notice I put "some"
I don't ever pull all the fry

I will pull most of the fry in about 2weeks, I want them to have some size before i pull them. Certain fry i will pull like if I know the parents arent good i will pull them, My carpintis x blood parrot fry are prime example.
