Great video Rick, love the detail. The parents were eating the fry?

Fat bellied lil buggers...cool :thumbsup:
No, the parents weren't just all the neighbors. That's what neighbors are for....eating the babies. I just found it easier to grab the whole cave without mama and put in into this hatchery. after the eggs hatched I dumped them out of the cave and put the cave back in the tank. Then just waited a few days while they used up their egg sack, then just started the bbs 3 to 4 times a day.
they are growing like crazy.

has worked very well. I have no idea what to do with so many apistos.
In another week or so, I'll move them into a 5.5g tank and keep feeding them. They are now the size of guppy fry.

Great job on the grow out mate...surprised how fast they grow for dwarf cichlids...
Still going well, I think out of the whole batch I only lost a 4. No idea why..... I think I can start to make out some color.
