You can put her into another tank till she spits them out. Then just remove her from them and grow them out till they get an inch or so

Nice tank Jess. Almost got some cichlid stones the other day.


And how easy to breed cichlids I have 10 in a 55 and just what's the chance of one getting pregnant.

Thanks guys! Cichlids are easy to breed, just use a ratio of 1m 3-4f and they should spawn in they're own in no time
