Blue Dolphin Cichlids Spawn with Catfish in the way

Cyrtocara Moorii (Malawi Cichlid) Spawning with Interruptions from Synodontis Multipunctatus

Keeping fish for 3 months when I took this. I had spotted action in the tank a good few times so had the camera ready and waiting, it's all new and very exciting to me. This spawning session went on for 50 minutes. There was 57 fry in total, which she kept in her mouth for about 4 wks, until I caught her in a large net and then she released the fry almost immediately.

@franknitty696 I only have free Labidochromis caeruleus or free Julidochromis marlieri fry. I've no Cyrtocara moorii left. I did find one dolphin about 3cms in my filter two days ago, but the children want to keep it. Sorry :(
