No, they won't eat them and the older siblings will also be fine with the
fry.

Does anyone know about breeding Brichardi Cichlids?

I just noticed this morning that there is a second spawn of fry swimming
around.  The first spawn was about 3 weeks ago, and those fry have grown
to about 1/4" in length.  Now there is a second brood of freshly hatched
fry in the same nest.

Is this normal for these fish?  Should I look forward to a continuous
stream of new babies now if they have started breeding?  Do I have to
worry about the parents eating them if I disturb them too much with a
water change? I appreciate the advice.

If anyone is interested in growing some of these out separately I'd be
happy to siphon them off into a bucket for you.  Just let me know.

Cheers,

Jesse Doerr
