Jewel fish breeding

ewel cichlids spawn on an in advanced cleaned flat rock where the female lays up to 200 eggs which are immediately fertilized by the male. The parents guard the eggs and fry until they reach a length of about 1 cm/ 0.4 inch at which time it is best to remove the fry from the parents. The fry will accept newly hatched brine shrimp once they have consumed their yolk sac and can be feed mashed pellets and flake food a few days to a week later. My experience with this species says that they are good parents however the species have a reputation to often be bad parents so I recommend that you at least give the parents a chance to prove that they are good parents before you start raising they fry separated from their parents.
