| I'm gonna stick with my first thoughts though and say just leave her be. Sometimes they eat entire broods, often as a result of stress. So leave her alone for now and hopefully she will stop eating them.
NB: The mother will eat any baby that she feels has some sort of diformity. | |

| What were the conditions in the tank? Maternal cannibalism seems to be more frequent if the mom knows the young wont's survive in their present environment. | |
