Thanks for the help. I only have one Melanchronis Cyaneorhabdos (Why can't
cichlids have names like molly or platy??) and, not sure why, but I assumed
he was male - he just "looks" male. So if that is mum, who is dad? Until the
babes appeared, I noticed no unusual activity in the tank, no extra
aggression or anything. I notice now though that Fish a is hiding all the
time - in fact I thought she'd died then I just saw a flash of her when I
turned the lights on. She isn't likely to be producing more babes is she?
