Thank you everyone for your insights. I placed her, and the male she always breeds with, in a 10 gal tank, previously they were in a 100gal community tank. I treated it with some epsom salt and left the lights out. I had done some more research and one lady said she gently massaged her fish with a couple down ward movements and it helped to release the eggs. I did this as well twice a day for three days. I am happy to say my female is fine now. :thumb: She has released all of her eggs and her and the male are sharing parenting duty. I put the male in because I read that it would help to intice her to lay her eggs. I have not removed him because he actually carries the eggs in his mouth sometimes. I am not sure if it is normal or not? Now I have a another female that bred with a different male in my community tank. They are both Kenyi. I have no where to put this couple? I am out of fish tanks. I just lost my 55 gal to a crack up the back panel and had to move my angel fish into my spare 29gal. I really was not trying to breed cichlids, we bought the fish as juveniles and had no idea what sexes they were. Maybe I can find someone giving away a 10gal or something. From my expierence those breeding nets do not work with cichlids.
Does anyone know if it is normal for the male to help carry the eggs and when should I remove him?
