Holding Acei!?

I've only had her for about 3 months and in my opinion, her and all the other fish with her are still juvis... How is this possible? I just noticed these white things in her mouth that look like eggs, they definitely weren't there yesterday. I didn't expect her to hold so soon...

 

HI stiglitz, hopefully you will receive some responses today.

 

I would bet she is holding.

 

when she spits would it be okay for them to eat the fry? I know african cichlids are mostly vegetarian so i'm not sure if it would be good for them to have so much protein from the fry... could they get malawI bloat from it?

 

I would doubt it.

 

Hi,

Yes, she is holding fry. No, eating the fry won't cause malawI bloat lol. MalawI bloat usually occurs from feeding a lot of protein over a longer period of time. Also, from what I've seen, it occurs when you feed higher fat proteins. Most likely you will have a couple fry survive because African cichlid fry are annoyingly good at surviving.
