@amwjaguar my fish had babies 3 times i dont think she does not like the fry but if she didn;t want babies she would swallow them cause when they get frightened or she thinks it is unsafe they auctaully do swallow there baby!

I have a question. My Kenyi Cichlid just spit out her babies today.. she is in a 5 gal aquarium with a good amount of hiding places, and an old ship that is a very good hiding place that the mother can't quite fit in. When should I move the female out of the tank and will the fry be fine in the 5 gal? I am afraid of her eatting them. I am new to this and have no idea what the hell I am doing. :S I read up on the subject, but I am still confused.

So she wasnt happy to have them born? Is it normal for them to go back in once released?

No. VC-10 is the common name. They have really cool big lips.

Nature at work. Pretty amazing how species have evolved over time for their specific place in the scheme of things.

Oh Ya! She keeps the fertilized eggs in her mouth until they hatch. Then she is there protection. Pretty cool. Mothers are great!
