Hey all,

I know quite a few members on here have african Cichlids.
what I need to find out is??
My 4" Eureka Peacock has a clutch of eggs in her mouth, should I....

A) sperate her into her own aquarium?
let nature do its thing and leave her alone?
C) Use a Fry trap that floats in the main aquarium?
Please help as this is my first Hybrid breed and I want them to survive.?

I always move mine to a bare bottom tank.. small tank, like a 20 long.... and after she spits them out, remove her... put her back in the main tank... make sure the new small tank is cycled tho...

I always remove her immediately... as soon as you notice she has spit them out... The only thing I suggest is adding some bigger rocks, so she can hide, and once she spits the babies out then they can hide in them... I use a bare bottom tank, so it is easier to clean with the fry.
