    Hi. I have Agassizzi's that has fry of around 4-5 weeks old. I have notices that one in a while that the audult female nip the small fry and usually spit them out again - still alive. Today I saw here bite one a few till its dead. She does not eat them. Bites them and spit it out.

    Do you think I should split the small from the 2 audults? They should servive, right?

    Thanks

    Yes, eating on their own. Not sure if the fry was dead but saw the female chew him a few time and then spit it out. Will move them just icase.
