Aquarium Advice FINatic
So in my 75 gallon tank, i have a big Oscar, a Syno, and 6 juvenile Texas cichlids, which are actually Carpintis and not the true Texas.
I will get rid of the oscar as soon as a pair forms. The Texas are about 1-4 inches long, the size difference isn't helpful but it was the best i could do.
So i know how to sex them, i understand they are easy to breed. The female is ready to breed at 2-3 inches so i shouldn't have to wait more than a month or two.
What i need to know is:
- How to make sure the female will be safe from the male?
- Should i remove the fry when they are free-swimming or not until the parents breed again?
- Would a target fish like another durable, somewhat smaller cichlid be helpful?
- Will fry be ok with filters?
Thanks!!
