My mama yellow lab had been holding for a few weeks, and of course I forgot to keep track of when I noticed. Well, Saturday (2 days ago) I got a fish net breeder (boxy shape with a net thing that goes over the frame...) and put mama in there. Well, I got her in there just in time cuz she started spitting the fry out yesterday. But, she seems to be killing them all! I just came home for lunch and checked, and there's 6 dead fry at the bottom of the net. One was alive yesterday, then I looked a few minutes later just as she ate it (ewww). That's the only live one I've seen so far. The rest I just find when they're dead.
I don't think she's spitting out dead babies...pretty sure she's killing them. How do I stop this!?! I want my babies to live. I can't let her roam free because she doesn't hide in any of the caves, and there's 5 other full grown cichlids in the tank (one pretty agressive). Would it help if I add a bit of plant to float around the top to give the fry somewhere to hide?
Anyway, any help is much appreciated. Thanks
