Red Devil X Dovii

[AstroGuard]

Hi all.
I have recently discovered a little surprise in my chiclid tank.
I had a male RD whom was quite nasty and couldn't find a tankmate for him, until I popped into my LFS and asked the dude what he had and he told me that he had one juvenile Dovii left.
I'd been looking for one for a long time before that so I snapped her up, not knowing she was a female at the time.
Over time they bonded, roughly 7 months had passed and today I've woken up to this.

That's awesome! You should definitely post some pictures of the fry as they get bigger. Those have the potential to look really cool as they mature.

Cheers mate!
Yeah I'm pretty excited haha.
I've never crossed anything before but I'll definitely be growing a few out and I'll keep posting updates as they get bigger.
I'm kinda hoping for some advice really. I'm not sure if I should remove the pump or not? I don't want to lose any babies but I also don't want the tank getting too dirty..
