Babies!

Fry galore!

Little fishies everywhere. So far, I've counted 16. They are in a 10g nursery tank. I put "mom" in a couple weeks ago, as I knew she had eggs in her mouth. Mom is a Cichlid (Red Zebra).

How long should I leave her in the tank with the fry?

I left my venustus in the for around 1 week to let her recoup from it a bit.If you see her eating that is always a good sign (but not necc.) I love fry they are better than adults

The babies should be fine in with the mother for quite a while. Just leave them be until she stops defending them

When I had fry, mamma socolofi was removed when the fry actively avoided being scooped up!

That will happen alot, the mother will still try to protect them, but the fry want no part in it...whichever comes first, either way, would be a good time to seperate them.
