OMG YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE THIS! There are 3 kribenesis (small cichlids) in the tank. All with red bellies. They all have to be female because they all have red bellies right?
So anyways one of the female was swiming for a couple of weeks with a belly full of eggs. And then 2 days ago I noticed she wasn't as round so I thought she released the eggs and ate them (because I never saw them). So today I look at the tank and there are some kind of bugs with eyes that blend in with the gravel OMG OMG I SEE BABIES!!!! I am totally shocked and I still can't believe it as I write this!!!!!
I saw the big fish swim up to them and eat them so I took out the lesbian parents (lol but seriously how can there be babies with no males in the tank?) I counted there to be about only 40 babies & they have formed themselves into two groups. They all kind of cruise on top of the gravel and some just stay still wiggling their tails. They have yellow bellies (yolk sac?) with red dots on their bellies in the same place on all of them.
My question is WHAT DO I DO??? I don't know how to raise fish & was definetely not expecting this. I read about breeding bettas though and I recall that when the babies are born you have to feed them with some product called LiquiFry? All the babies are in my 90 gallon right now. HELP!
