Male recently died however he managed to fertilize both female eggs.

However one batch i lost due to time taken setting up little tank but i managed to get the other female out with a few fry...so heres hoping.

Oh thats a shame about the male GD. Any idea what was wrong with him (or have a missed a thread again?)

Good luck with the saved fry though Smile

we just went very pale and weak - He did have problem passing his number 2's to one point his skin was stretched back and i assume it was the anus sticking out it looked very sore since then he didnt eat and he wasnt very well at all but when a female came near he perked up lol!

Just a weak fish I guess.

I am changing from community to Brichardi Cichlids. I will keep that female and the fry in the small Hospital tank and who knows, I may get another male and keep a pair in there.
