After feeding all my fish I went to my 90 gal which I have divided off for the new jewel fry and the parents. I noticed what first looked like very fine bubbles coming from the female. I then realized she was actually chewing a pellet until it was very very fine and spitting it back out for the fry. It was as fine as Hikari First Bites. I think this is actually amazing behaviour. Has anyone seen a fish do this before.

you sure its not just the mother spitting the food back out as she doesnt want to eat it?

When I kept convicts they did it. I dropped in Cichlid Gold pellets and the Convicts would take it and chew and spit it out for their fry.
