What am I looking at?

[Buphy]

What exactly am I looking at? I know the pics are bad but right in front of the anal fin. Is it dry spawning? Or is it something to be worried about?

That's just the sexual organ hanging out.you have noticed the eggs on the rock I assume?

 

[Buphy]

No but they're only like 3 inches, didn't think they'd be "ready to go" so soon... Thanks stanzzzz

 

[Stanzzzz7]

Yeah they look mature to me.
Good luck with the spawn.

 

[Buphy]

Accept god damn it! They're right there on the rock in the pic...

 

[Stanzzzz7]

Didn't take them long did it.
You must be doing something right.

Yep, those are eggs, and its not that out of the ordinary for many cichlids to spawn at a small size.

My carpintis surprised me.They were only around 2.5 inches when they spawned.

Thanks guys. Any precautions I need to take on water changes? I'm due for one today.
