how many gallons is your tank

[j0hnity]

i have 2 convict cichlids and the female had frys. do i need to separate them from the adults? thankx for advance.

These babies are older than 2 days! At 5 days they are still huddled together and not swimming freely yet. This must be 2 days of swimming freely around the tank with the mother! Most likely around 7 days old.

@trwillard7 I think I know how old they were at the time...I was kind of...you know...watching them everyday? I had only had those Convicts for about 10 days. It was about 5 days later that the eggs were seen. They hatched 3 days laters. This video was taken 2 days later.

I'm surprised your gourami is ok with the convicts

[KellySulli23]

how long does it take for the fry to start swimming around after they hatch? mine just hatched the other day and they're still hovering around on the bottom of the tank.

how do you tell the sex

[warpedmind41]

The females will generally have pink on their sides. Also, males tend to me larger. And once the males get larger they get humps on their forehead.

@warpedmind41 no females have orange on their bellies and male are larger and are aggresiver and hav humps on their head
