I care, but I've never bred/raised them. I've got an oscar, but he/she is solo. Not sure where all the cichlid people are.
Just thought I'd post so you'd know somebody was reading even if they didn't have any info.

If they're a centimeter, they should do fine on crushed flake.

THanks Cholly :-*  I'm so proud I just wanted to see some replies.  Even My livebearer platies haven't produced enough for me to notice, Either they are hiding really really good, or being eating at an alarming rate! I haven't seen any!

I suspect you have fat cichlids. They're really good at livebearer fry control.

Congratulations on the fry!

I have nothing to add but wish you well and to request more photos as they grow!

So cool!

Thank You Pam, I moved her back to her main tank this morning and she and the mate are already trying to spawn again, I should've waited but i didn't really think they'd give it a go right away :13:
