So another small update, the pile of fry has a few dead ones at the bottom but apparently something had spooked them yesterday but most of them lived and started free swimming around the aquarium again. mother is still pretty protective and will only sometimes let dad around them, he seems to be growing kinda annoyed with the fry and is ready to start breeding again with the way he is acting towards mom. I plan on having a new 75 set up tomorrow to move the fry into for the long term grow out tank until they reach about an inch and a half.
How long do the parents go without food caring for the fry before i should start to kinda worrying about it? because thursday will mark 2 weeks without a good sized meal for them they have eaten maybe 10 pellets in nearly 2 weeks ive stopped throwing food in there when the fry were free swimming because it was mostly getting fungusy.
