Spilurus "Cutteri" fry question

[nx2ured]

As of today, the fry are free swimming and the parents are guarding them like Fort Knox. My question is how long can I leave the fry with the parents? Do they have to be moved if the tank is large enough?

Nice, congrats

My guess would be just as any sa cichlid of cryptoheros species, fry would be safe with parents for at least a few weeks, after which you'd need to separate them.
