Neolamprologus Pulcher "Daffodil Cichlid"
So I bought some of these little buggers for a species tank I'm setting up and I thought i had researched them really well. Guess I didn't because I didn't really want to end up with a fish explosion.
They are currently ~1" questions:
1) how fast do they mature? Will I have time to find homes for the extras before spawning occurs and domestic abuse runs rampant?
2) I understand the parents 'raise' the fry until they can 'take care of themselves' but will the fry require any extra maintenance from me?
3) No, they haven't spawned yet, but from what I'm reading online in forums is that they breed easily and in quantity. Is there a way I can prevent them from reproducing? Other than only having females. Overcrowding maybe?
Any help would be great!!
