Advice on Isolating my "Pregnant" G. steindachneri

[Dan F]

My steindachneri has been holding for about a week now. I finally got her isolation tank (24x16x16) set up, running off the same sump as the tank she is in now.

I am new to breeding Red-Humps, the only experience I have with mouthbrooders was breeding Africans years ago. What are the chances that she will spit the eggs when I net her? Should I include any other fish (dithers or corys) in the tank? (I would guess not). Are the fry hard to raise? Any other advice?

Thanks!

she will be perfectly fine just net her up and isolate her, whatever eggs she spits out she will pick them all back up no problem she'll let the babies out at 10-12days
