They tend to do better if you leave them with the dad when they've hatched, but maybe consider taking 1/2 of them and leaving the other 1/2 with him and seeing how it goes?

alanmin4304 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I don't know about your fish but some are very good at sucking baby fish out of breeding nets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmsmith Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I don't know about your fish but some are very good at sucking baby fish out of breeding nets. One of those plastic ones with a double layer bottom might be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
