I'll bet it does.  I've always liked to watch cichlid parents and the care the give to a batch of fry.  Good luck with them.

The fry started swimming all over the place, the 6 left anyway...now it appears that they're gone. That's alright, the next batch should be larger and in bigger groups they'll do better.

Sorry about the fry but those parents did a great job first time out.

They got it right, Scott. However, I don't think they were getting enough to eat....even when I aimed the food at them, it'd be a couple bites and then finding much more. I could have removed them, but wanted the parents to keep doing their thing.
