Dear list,
I have been following the apisto list actively  since I got my first dwarfs 
3 months ago. (A trio of N.anomala and a pair of aggies.) However, I rarely 
post a message to the list. I posted a thread asking for info on the tank 
setup on my first week before getting those fish. I have been helped 
wonderfully by members, esp. Mike Wise. (Thanks again Mike!) Now I need 
your help again as my NA has just spawned and the free-swimming frys are 
seen this morning.

Before I am asking, I guess I should introduce myself to you all a bit. My 
name is Arthit Prasartkul from Bangkok Thailand. I am now reading 
International Relations at Chulalongkorn Uni. in Bangkok for my 3rd year. I 
currently have a pair of aggies and a trio of NA. Since dwarf cichlids are 
not popular here among thai fish hobbyists, I was quite lucky to find these 
fish at my LFS. It was the only lot of dwarfs that the LFS had imported!

Here comes my question: I have my female NA spawned and I don't know what 
and how to do with frys. There are one male and two female NAs, along with 
4 cardinal tetras as dithers, in my tank. I see the dithers eat the strayed 
frys and also notice the mother swallow the frys too. I wonder if she is 
moving the frys or really eat them. What should I do with this? Do I have 
to take the dithers and the rest out, leaving only the mother and the frys 
in the tank or just leave it like this? Any suggestion will be much 
appreciated. Thank you.

Arthit
