Hi

babies are hang around the parent. It's been about weeks after free swimming. However when i saw the pair layed eggs on the cone again.

I 've never happen like this before.

Should i take the babies out from parent? i think it's bit early to do that.

another pair is the exactly same situation. only difference is that half of babies are not hang round the parent.

babies are only one day earlier hatched than other pair.

and both pair are layed egges today only few hours difference.

remove the eggs or they'll eat the babbies.

if they're fertilized try hatching them and raring them artificially.

why did you need the cone in there if they were already free swimming ?

i was afraid of changing the environment. so that the parent might eat babies

Yep they USUALLY eat the older fry, again give the artificial method ago, all you need is some brine shrimp eggs, a small valve to turn down the air, a small light, and some kind of fine food (i used brine shrimp food), its labour intensive but damn rewarding.
