breeding green terrors

Question
hey im adam,
ive got 2 green torrors that are breeding in my tank at home. i want to know when i have to remove the parents from the tank. and if there is any more information on what to do ?

Answer
Hi Adam,
 You don't have to remove the parents.  If you leave them in the tank, they will likely take care of the kids.  Watching parent cichlids do what they do best (care for the kids) is one of the best reasons to keep cichlids like the green terror.  

 You do not need to provide any food for the kids when they are eggs or wrigglers. Only once the kids are free-swimming should you provide some baby brine shrimp or other small food for them.
