My dogtooth cichlids have had babies! This is the first time any of my cichlids have had babies and I have a few questions...
First of all, how many babies do mouthbrooders usually have and what is their average length/size when the mother releases them? I don't know exactly when mine were released - they're about 1 cm in length now. Will they survive on that powdery fry food or is it necessary to feed them live baby brine shrimp (mine have been eating the dry stuff for a few days now)? If I can get by using the powdery fry food, how old/big do they have to be before I can switch them to adult food?
