My Rainbow cichlid pair spawned on Nov 2nd. The fry are now on their own in the tank. They probably are about 1/2" at this point. There are at least 40, but it is hard to get a count. Can a mod edit the title(remove the : ) if possible?

I am considering putting a pair of rainbow cichlids(archocentrus multispinosa) in my 90g ca/sa community tank. Current occupants are a breeding pair of young angelfish(pretty docile as breeding angels go), a small group of adult black tetras(4) and columbian tetras(6), and a bunch of cory...

All breeding in the last few weeks. I'll get pictures of the c123 fry soon, I hope. Bolivian rams: Kribensis: Rainbow cichlids:

I found these in an African Cichlid mix tank. I'm thinking a Zebra hybrid because my Colbalt Blue Zebra is chasing them and also my Yellow Labs love them.
