October 17, 201015 yr comment_399844 Try to get some flow and/or aeration into them, some people put them in a net breeder and have a gentle bubbler going underneath. HTH. Report
October 17, 201015 yr comment_399846 They should survive without being fanned but they may get eaten without Dads protection. You could scoop them up and put them in a net breeder or a fry trap or even an ice-cream container floating in your tank. If you go with an ice-cream container you'll need to do small water changes to keep things fresh. Report
