Aquarium Advice Newbie
I have two red jewel cichlids in a 150 gallon tank who bred without me knowing it. they must have bred inside a fake stump deco that i have, it has a cave in it that i cant see into where they must have laid eggs. there is also 1 jackdempsey 2 convicts an oscar and one other red jewel cichlid in the tank with them ph is about 7.4, ammonia is less than .25, temp is about 78 degrees, the parents have been guarding their fry which hatched this morning or last night there are about 50-80 fry the two parents seem to be getting along fine but they are harassing all the other fish as i would expect and forcing them to hide on the other side of the tank the parents are also not really eating anything and occassionally eating their fry. ive turned off my filters, and sump so they dont get sucked in
My question is should i move the parents and fry to another tank, just move the fry, leave them in the tank and make a barrier, or something else. ive read many conflicting ideas on a few different forums. Any advice on this issue is much appreciated
thanks
