When will my jaguar cichlid lay her eggs?

[shawnp]

okay i have had my male and female jagure for several yrs and they had babies about 3 times and now the male died while the female was pregnant.
will the female still lay her eggs or will she still need the male to ferdleize them MORE????????????
If she lays them, should i do anything to keep them alive.

Fish lay eggs... Then the male fertilizes them. If she would lay the eggs now, theyd just sit there anyways. They would not hatch.

Some female fish lay eggs every now and then that arent fertilized. Your female may do that. And if you dont have a male in there, they wont hatch.
