Well, the babies are a couple of weeks old now and it appears that we have 17. They are all doing great, growing at a rapid rate, and from the get go many of them have the typical "cichlid" behavior, chasing eachother around the tank. LOL | |

My malawi had babies too i did not scoop them out of the tank and they survived with 6 other adult malawi's i had to tear the tank down in the end because there were like 25 fish in my 44 gallon. after that i switched too saltwater now my tank is cycling. | |
