Hey Dave, I'd have to ask my fish guy if Chiclids play well with my fish or not. But I have a fish egg question. I think one of my guppies is laying her fry. Should I protect them from the other fish? You can see her on her side and the male nudging her. Edit: did a little research I may buy a birthing net for the next time. You put her in the net when she appears prego and then when the fry are born (live birth) they fall into a lower net where mom and the other fish can't eat them.
