Re: dwarf cichlid babies



Depending on which dwarf cichlid (or is it dwark
chiclet?) the parents may be able to raise a few to
juvie-hood. Usually better to siphon and raise away
from parents. But, if you'd rather not, to give the
fry a better chance squirt some newly hatched brine
shrimp in their area. Good luck.
