Hello all, happy new year! And I have a question...

I have a 65 G tank, with approx16 Africans of all varieties, electric yellows, electric blues, 2 gold severums, and many other kinds. Anyways..my electric yellow seemed quite aggresive the past couple of weeks..low and behold, this morning, the wife was looking at the tank , and there are 2 babies in there..not sure if they are electric yellows quite yet, they are hiding out very well in the lava rocks..(places the other can't get at)..

What do I feed them? Do I need to seperate them?? How do I know for future cases who the female that carried them is..? The male?? How do I know where to look for more eggs? Do they lay them on the rocks on in the sand? Looks like 3 babies so far that I can see, they hide very well in the lava rocks.. and looking at them minutes ago, seemed to be fighting for territory allready(is that possible?)

Thanks in advance..

Electric Yellows, Blues , dogtooths, they are all africans except for the 2 severums(that have lived with these africans for almost 2 years...) Do you think I will need a tank seperator? They seem to be a cross between the electric yellow and dogtooth...and have managed to hide very well so far.. in fact I created a neat little shelter that none of the big fish can enter... ideas?
