     The fry all hatched. They have still their egg yolk so no food at the momont. I removed the clay pot as the fry detached themselves from it. I will take some pictures saturday morning and post.

    I don't think that you should have any problems because i think microworms are one of the ideal foods for fry.

    Btw looking forward to see the photos of the fry tomorrow...

    yes Kurt and even the orange colours of their parents are now quite visible. Even the salvini fry are getting bigger. Water changes in fry tanks do miracles.

    Re: Central Americans

     4  Archosentrus/Chiclasoma Sajica were lately introduced to my central american tank. They are small size compared to the other cichlids but there are alot of hiding places in the tank. They are shy fish too so finger crossed that they will settle in their new environment.

    Re: Central Americans

     Update.... the sajicas are doing well with their tank mates. Although they are small, their blue colours are already showing. I will post some pictures this weekend.

    What about yours maniac ?? any signs of breeding with them ???

    Re: Central Americans

    Mine died a year ago =/ they weren't healthy when I bought them and they didn't get to their full potential and so they got bullied and killed by thier tankmates ..

     Sorry to hear that friend. Well there is a very longggg way to go for mine to pair and hopefully breed. But if they do you will be the first to know and to get some fry.
