TY, I tried counting but I had trouble, good trouble! There always some "attrition" (fry loss). Nice the dad put in an appearance. Mama is looking after the fry & dad is looking at the camera...fill in a snide sexist remarks...lol.
20-30 fry is a pretty good batch, for new breeders especially. Will you make efforts to rescue those little fry or wait on a larger spawn next time? No shame either way, we & our fish do the best we can when we can.
You might want to remove the male if you have a place for him...they tend to get bored with fry care long before females do...That's my experience with most cichlids. But the female will be ready to again breed in 2-4 weeks.
What's your plan for fry? Grow out or possible snacks?
