So my friend has a 55gal tank full of cichlids, with a few pairs of different species. His black ones that were sold to him as jeweled cichlids have spawned, and I was able to rescue about 20 fry. But my concern is that after scouring the interwebs pictures I have been unable to locate any information indicating that its a jewel, as most have a red tint (I also just got what I know for certain are.jewels for free yesterday). The closest picture I could find of what the fish looked like was of a jack Dempsey. The fry are striped black and white though. I will have to wait to upload pics until I get to the library.
Are there such thi gs as black jeweled cichlids? What other cichlids produce striped black and white striped fry?
I currently have the fry in a 1gal critter kreeper that I do 50% water changes daily. I am assuming that they would eat my smaller gourami fry food f I put them in the 10gal with them, am I correct? What is the best thing to feed them? I have some white worms I got from BillHN that I am trying to keep a culture of, but they seem too big to feed them. So far they've gotten a mixture of betta micro crumble, decaps brine shrimp, and the concoction of mixed powder I feed the gouramis.
