Question
Hello,
I have 5 Chichlids and one of them if not all have had babies, they are little and I was wondering if I could do a partial water change without killing the baby fish?  

Answer
Hi Dre,
 I often skip water changes when the babies are in the first couple of weeks.  After that, you just have to be careful not to suck up the babies with the siphon.
