Hello everyone!
I have a spawing pair of Firemouth Cichlids with a ton of babies! The pair is very attentive to the young but I have noticed as of today, that the male is chasing the female out of the cave and paying no attention to the babies. The babies are now exploring the whole tank while the female is hiding from the male. Is this normal? Should I remove the female? Or the male? At what size is it ok to remove the pair from the babies? Also , what is the best food for them?
Sorry, so many questions! My first experience with cichlids( although I have years of experience with other fresh water species)
