O.K. So I walk into my classroom about an hour ago and my students are freaking out. There are saying, Your fish had babies!! Your fish had babies!!" So I go over there are sure enough there is a p'ed off mother flaring at me as I look into to the tank. I also notice about (from a quick glance) about 20 fry. I did not notice them this morning as they were pigging out. Here is the thing. There are 7 other fish (all the same species) in there with them, and I have no tank to transfer anyone to.
Fish: What I believe is Thorichtys sp. blue or green mixteco. When they were sold to me they were referred to as Mixteco cichlids. There were 8 1 inch fry and they were a dollar for the bag.
They are in a 40 breeder with some cover, which is being hogged by the other fish. Any thoughts or should I try to click a quick photo of them before they become food?
Also, I looked again about 20 minutes ago and saw none of them. Are they already eaten, or are these guys mouth brooders? Nothing in their profile says anything about that.
Thanks!
