Awesome , I did say it was still possible. Is the male still trying to fan the eggs layed on the rock?

1stly all morris's 1st and 2nd bn spawn in 96litre are doing great infact tons luckally my lfs will take them ..
then boris's 1st spawn in the 200 litre in only seeing a few but then theres so many hiding places i cant get at im unsure how many there is as its full of wood and plants..

prob is im doing water changes to help the fry which at present are in tanks with parents and community however seems its having a effect on them as both dads are again fanning eggs in each tank..

bit worried on the filters being able to take this next lots or the effect on other fish in tank..i mean im now awaiting batch 4 and 5 they breed soo quick..

thought about moving dad n cave n eggs to another grow on tank for now but how do i acclimatise him and eggs to new tank and get him from one tank to another while hes stuck upside down in the cave .what if he leaves them cause ive disturbed him....also boris is too deep inside giant tree root to get at and its too tall and big to move into another tank..

didnt want to have to move the first lots of babies yet as theyre doing soo well and i keep adding algae rocks to tank so seem to be doing fine ..

any ideas ?

Kaz just posted about an Ikea fry tank check it out, might help control the fry.....
I'd put them in when they are wrigglers
