Hey guys i bought 2 electric blues, or at least i think there electric blues a while ago, and now i can see up to 7 baby cichlids swimming around my tank, i've had babbeis before but there were platys and the only thing in the tank, in this 32G that i have ive got plecos catfish, 2 frotosas and iridescent and a Pakistani loach and an angel so far there doing fine but i worry for there safety. I know for a fact that my laoch has taken bites out of my angel and pleco, do you think i should get the baby's out or leave them in? i can provide pics if you'd like, also is there any special care for cichlid babies i should know about? thanks in advance!

That depends. Do you want to keep and raise the babies?

I had an african tank that actively bred on a regular basis, but I wasn't interested, or had the room to raise fry, so I didn't do anything. I think I had 1 or 2 survive and grow up in my tank over the years, but otherwise the rest of the fish would pick them off.
