jabmel Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 good food, BBS, cleand water, jd fry will die real quick in water less than 25 deg, i normally take the fry out and put them in a smaller tank to allow for better feeding 2 to 3 times per day i do this as eggs, with the female untill they hatch and free swim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah1234 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Assorted food is key. Live food is great. Mix it up. Similar care to any other cichlid fry, clean water, good food. Parents depend on the individual. Observe their behaviour, if they eat the fry you will know for next time when to take them out. Personally I leave them together for as long as possible.
