I just got back from a two week vacation and found that my n. pulchers in my 40 gallon had spawned and I now have a whole bunch of fry about 1/4 inch long.
There are five adults in the tank. Two are in corners and one is buried in a cave somewhere. I guess I need to contact my lfs and see if they'll take the three non-parents.
Thanks Sara and Razzo. They're will hidden, but pop out once in awhile. It's a lot of fun watching the behavior of the parents and the fry. I have to say that I never seen any fish that were as devoted parents as cichlids.
