Hi
Wasn't expecting this at all - as they are only 2"in length, and I've only had them for 3 weeks.
But obviously the female has laid eggs - and the male is now trying to kill everything else in the tank.

What do i do? Do I seperate them and put them some where else - I don't have a spare tank! Could I put them in a large breeding net? What do I do with the babies once they hatch? And how often are they going to breed?
I am so unprepared for this and really don't have a clue about any of it :(
Sorry to sound so dumb - I didn't think I would be on this situation lol :)
 
Jewel's are african cichlids...

And they are VERY agressive when breeding so beware. Personally i would move them to their own tank as they will kill.
