Hi Chris and congratulations,

Pleasantries aside I would like to "pick your brain" as they say.

My common BN have spawned for the third time, the first two were practice runs producing only a handfull of fry that were raised in a clear plastic fry saver after dad kicked them out as eggs.

This time dad has 30 plus freshly hatched wrigglers in his cave and all looks good. (second day post hatch)

The substrate is coarse gravel and no other tankmates apart from a couple of stray snails. Should I leave them in there to fend for themselves when he lets them out?

If not when and how would you suggest removing the wrigglers to a fry saver?

Any assistance would be much appreciated and again congratulations on your success.

Marto.

fry saver all the way mate make sure it has an airstone in there at day 3 i usually take them off him that way he has the nest girl in there breeding with her most of the time that same night
but you can let him kick them out if you want i prefer to take them off him
