is it there first batch

 

[hairdog]

do not take them out unless there is other fish in tank

 

[bigdaddy]

the parents will start to pick them off after two weeks

I would take the female out. The male will take care of the fry. Hell pick them up in his mouth and spit them out where they need to be. If you leave the female in she pick the fry off and even kill the male.

there are other fish in the tank...catfish im worried about but will the parents get stressed if i remove their babies and yes its their first batch

I have mine in a seperate tank with both parents, the fry are about a week old and looking good so far.

Either leave them in and let nature take care of it's self or if you want to keep some remove them after a 7-10 days, removing them before is not advisable as they need the parental care...

Of course the parents will be causing chaos in the tank while this is hapening.
