Protecting odd new FRY, clever ideas?

Hi All,

I discovered a few weeks ago that two of my cichlids mated, a fire mouth and a hondurin red fin. most of the fry were consumed despite the parents fending off the other cichlids in the tank. Last night i found that two survived... somehow. they are both hiding under a piece of driftwood. too early to tell if they are some odd breed of fish considering the parents.

Any ideas to keep them protected? i have no spare tanks i could never fish these two out of the tank anyway, too much stuff and too many fish.

Was thinking about a small plastic box with holes big enough to let them in but too small to let other fish in. Anyone know where to get something like that? Other ideas?

Thanks!

I agree it's a good idea (the plastic box) but i have no idea where to find one. These guys live under the drift wood, like a little corner of it, when i say under i mean under getting them food is impossible.

i got the "hondorin red" from Jeff Rapps, could be related to a convict, they do look similar.
