2 females holding

[CichlidLady0312]

Hey guys,
Right now 2 of my females are holding. My 1 is a blue zebra whos in a breeding box attached to the tank and the other is a small juvenile yellow lab. How many fry will both females produce?! I thought the females were males but apparently not!!! Oy!!!

How did you catch them. I rather not strip down my tank and remove the rock. That's a three hour job for me! I have yellow lab holding too

That's how I do it. 300 pounds of rock later I can strip them lol

I had to remove all the river rock good thing its still the small tank. Im thinking of just leaving my yellow lab in there since shes still small not really a threat to my others. I still have yet to know who the father of both is. Im thinking my dragon blood (hes my beauty) cant wait to see the outcome

For those species, 20-30 (plus or minus) fry apiece (this quantity is typically smaller perhaps by half for first-time and inexperienced mothers).

Wow okay. Im concerned that my blue zebra isnt carrying her pouch like my yellow lab is. Its hard to see if theres fry in her mouth so I tried to feed her and shes still not eating. Yesterday she did drop 2 eggs and picked them up. Is this normal?
