I was not aware they had spawned until yesterday when I saw what I believe to be the female guarding a cloud of fry outside a medium "cichlid stone" which they must have used as a spawning cave.
78 degree water
PH 8.6 buffered with Tanganykia Buffer and Cichlid Lake Salts.
sand substrate.
46 Gallon Bowfront
I was not able to get any good photos but here is a great little video.
The female has been chasing the male into the corner of the tank. Should I try to remove the male? Remove some or all of the fry? Not sure yet what approach I will take. All my other breeders live with their offspring right in the tanks.
