Cyprichromis leptosoma
« on: September 26, 2015, 08:56:00 AM »
I need some advice. Just had a female Utinta release about 8 fry. Can I leave them in the 40 breeder tank with the 8 adults?

Usually yes, my cyps will allow their own fry to survive in the main tank.  I put mine in a breeder net for a while and bring the water level in the tank down so they can't jump out.  This way I can ensure they are getting enough food.

Thanks Josh.

The tri colors I got from you are all doing well, the additional 5 fry as well.
