Thanks for the info she's had one batch of fry I didn't realize that she had eggs knew she was not eating and getting skinny loss a lot of them they were eaten by the other fish in tank . I just want to save the whole brood .
I move my females the evening after I notice them holding eggs. Three days after fertilization I remove the eggs and raise them in a flask that is kept at the same temp as the tanks. All I do is add some methylene blue and an air stone. I check the eggs and change the water every day, if I notice a decaying/not developing egg I remove it and change the water again. I typically have a 75-90% (in one case 100%) survival rate of the removed eggs. So, eggs can be raised successfully with no expensive equipment from at least 3 days after fertilization (some University studies do day of fertilization).
I have 3 Rusty cichlids holding right now, I've got them in a 10 gallon waiting for them to spit. One of the females has been holding for 23 days , the others im not sure as i didn't notice they were holding till I went to catch the one I knew was holding already
