Im interested in peoples thoughts on when they remove fry from the mother.
My A. baenschi spawn is getting much bigger, starting to grow real tails now and be a little bit more adventuresome about the tank.
I am tempted to remove them however the female is doing a fantastic job of guarding them and leading them about the tank to different spots for feeding. Their little bellies are always full and I still have about 15 - 20 of them. My only option at the moment would be a fry saver net in the same tank however when the female is doing all the hard work for me I wonder about the wisdom of this. I have also had problems of fish sucking small fry through the fry net in the past.
I am really keen to grow these fry to maturity.
Cheers
Steph
