Texas Cichlid Qestion on Fry Size?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thanks for the reply's. I had not considered a second spawning. I had to remove their fist spawning as they all began hiding all over the tank which was a change in their normal behavior. I could not catch 6 of them and remained in hiding while the pair spawned again. The pair eventually caught and ate them all. Here a couple of pics of the small ones and larger ones. Another strange thing happened on this spawning. The fry began eating the parents and I had to take the parents out. The male parent developed a white round spot just below his dorsal fin. I finally noticed why, a fry was picking at it. I noticed more fry doing this to. The female parent developed a white spot on the other side of her body and the fry were picking at it to. I removed the parents after a struggle to catch them. They soon healed up. Anyone heard of them doing this?

The fry eat off the parents coating for a bit that's normal the mother probably got beat by her husband which is normal behavior. Looks like normal fry variety to tell you the truth looks like same fry batch
