when cichlids have fry

[lightning]

just found 3 more babies in my 55 gal cichlid tank, they look like kenya's like the first 3 that i got a few weeks ago, dont know who is doing this, or how many usualy gome out in a "litter" does this mean that tank conditions are good when they keep having babies?,
i think the live brine shrimpi have been feeding once a week helps too

here is a bad pic of one of the babies, its kinda blury but dang those things dont sit still at all, i took about 30 pics and this was one of the better ones

Very nice tank with VERY nice fish. Love them.

It could be any fish poping these babies out LOL. I have found that Malawi cichlids have their fry without you knowing. They hide in the rocks.

Can't tell what kind it is by that pic but this means your tank conditions are right for at least breeding/raising fry.

Good luck with the new fish!

Do you happen to know what kind of Malawi's are in that tank?...can't tell all of them by those pics.

cant really tell what it is from teh pic, isnt a kenyi, i would say very good chance it is a hybrid, if you can get a better pic of the fry i may be able to tell better

Hopefully it'll turn out as a cool fish.

Looks like it will have a yellow tail and a blue fin......should look pretty cool!

sounds like fun, just don;t go trying to sell hybrids as pure bred fish.

dont plan on selling any fish

here is a closer picture, still blurry, these things just dont stay still at all, if they are out they are moving, otherwise they are hidding

Looks like a hybrid........idk could have some zebra in him.

It acctually looks like a really cool fish. Hope it turns out the way it looks now....or even better!!
