| Nice one bro! In terms of leaving them or taking them out, is there anything else in the tank with them? If there is then Yes i would take them out to save them from becoming snack food. But be really careful hadeling them as the slightest splash or poke can rupture internal organs and thats not good. if they are not in any danger of being eaten then i would leave them in there | |

| Congrats on finding some fry...A lovely surprise, I would agree with Doug, If any one is in there that will eat them, take em out, if not leave em with dad... | |

| it depends on many things. Was one of the parents albino? or do you know if the parents are carring the albino gene? Some fry do take longer to colour up than others so give it a week or two | |
