My Mpanga spat - What next?

[CichlidChick77]

Hi all,

I just noticed that my Mpanga spat her fry. This is my first batch of fry so am a little unsure of the process. It has only been 9 days since I first noticed she was holding. The fry still have the little sack thing attached (very technical, I know ) and are about 3-4mm long.

I have the mother and fry in their own tank. Do I need to do anything? I read that while the yolk thing is still attached I don't need to feed them. Is that correct?

Any info and/or advice will be massively appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

CC :D

I suggest that you remove the female or place the fry in a fry saver if you want the female to have a bit of a break before she goes back into the main tank.

I usually have bare bottom tanks for my fry and use a pepper grinder to grind up pellets.
