Maingano Mommy, Day 13
Nothing to say really, just a picture to post. A Melanchromis cyaneorhabdos cichlid holding at day 13. Less egg and more fish in her mouth at this point. Expecting new fish within the next few days, although some sites state it could take as long as 21 days total holding. New tank is ready, just waiting.

Maingano, still a mommy?
Well I am pleased to announce that our Melanchromis cyaneorhabdos, I call her Big Mama, has decided to forgo eating and carry her eggs like a good Cichlid. We are at day 11 and she still looks ok ... I expected that she would look skinny by now, but no. I can hardly notice a difference, she has plenty of energy and has no trouble clearing her niche of rock of unwanted guests. Here are a couple pictures, look close at the first one, after clicking for the larger version ...
... I think the eggs have eyes.
