I have a 55 gallon tank with assorted African Cichlids. I have three Electric Yellow Labs in there and have recently noticed that I have at least one small fry swimming around toward the bottom of the tank. I am wondering what the chances are of this little guy to survive without getting eaten. Also, any additional care information would be greatly appreciated as I am relatively new to the world of cichlids and this is my first experience with offspring. GoodyBlog: Deep Fried Turkey::

Yes, you should take the fry out and put him in another tank. A air pump is mandatory for your fry. good luck, my fish just had frys so I hope yours live
Well if you put it in a room with a bunch of over-weight beasts, of course your french fry will get eaten!

It would have better a chance in a breeding net but i find this a bit strange because Cichlids protect their kids really well and make good parents but then again I don't know that much about cichlids Guppies::
The fry are really very smart for being so tiny. I never separate mine, and I cannot tell you for sure that "some" of them don't get eaten, but generally I

I don't know anything about cichlids, but this is my guess as to what I would do if he's a lone fry swimming at the bottom; I would remove him, and place him in another aquarium by himself. If you have some filter media that you can use to do a quick cycling or use "Algone" so there won't be an ammonia spike then I would try and raise it my self in a separate tank until he's large enough to join the pack
If you see fry, just scoop them out.
Sooner or later they'll be eaten by the parents if you leave them in there.
Normally these fish have 25-50 offspring, probably more per birth. You are seeing one of the only survivors of the generation.
you need to pull your lone survivor out and put him into another tank until big enough to mix with the group. He will definitely be somebody's lunch if you leave him the current aquarium.
african cichlids are extremely aggressive. i give the fry a .5% chance.
