CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

Hey gang, Things have been going well on my end with my fish. So well in fact that my Dempsys in my 100 gal laid eggs, moved them to a hiding place and for 5 days now they fry have been out of hiding. "MOM" and "DAD" have been excellent parents (this is their first time too)
The problems is this....They are in with 2 oscars that are bigger than them and they have fought them bravely for two weeks(and what a sight that was!!!!) well of course the babies are dwindling and i was wondering if I should remove a few of the remaining fry in order to save them? If I do, what do I feed them????
Thanks! Sabina

If they're 2 weeks old the baby dempsey's will eat crumbled up flake food with no problems.

Good Luck

Hi Still earnin,
Well I moved 13 of the babies and left the rest with the parents. I think there still are a few with them but not too many. The babies I have moved are doing well. I found some live bearer food I had in a stash and they seem to like it once it sinks!
I really appreciate your help and look forward to some fish I have raised from babies.
Thanks!!:yesmaster
I'll keep you posted on our progress
