most cichlid parents will look after their fry so it might be worth leaving them in for a while.<
><
>if it looks like they are eating them it might just be that they are moving the fry from one spot to another or when  few make a
eak for it one of the perents will go suck them into their mouth swim back to the pit and spit them back with the rest. nothing to worry about there as this is nature.<
>have fun watching them grow.<

with the ice-cream tub fry savers, i know what to do to make them, just cut the sides out partially and cover with fly-screen mesh, but how to keep them afloat? Steven & Amy<
