Hi all

I have a tank of cichlids at the minute which is rapidly being overcome by the continuing production of brichardi fry, and I am going to have to remove one of the breeding pair to stop this as the other fish are all cramped in to one corner, and the capacity of the tank has been surpassed. My question, which do you think it would be better to remove, the male or the female? Am I to expect that the majority of the remaining fry will then get eaten?

and finally - if anyone lives near manchester, england and wants some free brichardis - either the adult or the fry or even the breeding pair, then feel free to contact me

where abouts in manchester are you?
what size tank, teankmates etc do you have?
Might be best of trading them at a LFS (who do you use? i reccomend Oasis in Salford).
