when i first started keeping my cichlids about 7-8 months ago i was all excited about the chance that they might spawn. my first spawn was my eureka jakes. got about 7 fry that are now about 2.5 months old. then my red empress, with 7 more fry. about 1 month old now. and now both my empress and my jake are holding again! plus, i just found my first holding female in my yellow lab species tank! gah! i have no more room for babies! lol! :lol:
