22 new babies.........
today was day 15 after noticing 1 of my african cichlid was holding a mouthfull so i bought a lil floating breeder cage, opend her mouth , she spit out 22 alive n 1 dead,so im happy.last time she gave birth i didnt even know, just noticed 2 lil babies hiding under rocks. but now i know what to look 4 n how to care 4 them. but i do have a question, how long til momma eats? n so no 1 asks the second i noticed her brooding i put her in a 10g which i now took her n babies outta n put back in 55g becuase its a much more established tank. 10g was just an old tank i had cleaned n filled outta the 55g.i also crushed a couple flakes n babies ate right away...; )

she did it again, last night i she gave out over 50 babies n now im wondering what to do with all them,the 1st 20 r about an inch long n im not quite sure there big enuff 4 adult tank yet nor do i want that many in a 55g already got 10 adults. n with 50 more babies im just gonna have to give m away but all my friends own community tanks. kinda screwed. how can i get mom to stop gtn knocked up? tanks at 80 degrees will lowering temp stop the breeding?
