    Thanks Reedfish.
    Hi there ,just an update .I moved the female to the 90 and decided to rather move the male back to the community tank for a few days .

    She looks stressed out and her fins took a proper beating and her one eye looked a bit hazy.

    Yup, give her time to recover before attempting to breed with her again.

    I think thats a good thing

    Give her time to recover and condition her up a bit.
    Try give her some small pellets as well as the blood worms, mine love the Hikari cichlid small.
    It will help condition her
    When you do put him back, just make sure there are hidding places for her, maybe a piece of wood along with the pot... just a suggestion

    Thanks for asking Maria ,and Jhb, she was doing well before I left ,her fins healed up nicely.
    I am due back home on Saturday and will put them back together in the week, after I do a water change.
