Breeding Endlers

[hydrosparky]

Hello, everyone! I just got my first tank two months ago! It's a 29 gal. with 5 Flame and Black Phantom tetras, 2 German Blue Rams, a trio of Endlers, and some cherry red shrimp. Now, my female Endlers are pregnant, and I took them out into a clear plastic container which is 12 inches long, 5 inches wide, and 4 inches high. My Endlers don't seem to be having a swell time in there, while the cherry reds are having fun. I don't want to lose fry, but I also don't want to stress the Endlers out. What should I do?

Ugghhh. My Endlers were crazy to get out, so I put them back. Any suggestions?

If you want to raise them, you can put a net breeder in the tank. But it could stress them out...

I do want to raise the fry... It's just that I don't know when the fry are going to come out. I'm afraid that the German Blue Rams will eat them all.

i think the rams will eat the fry,they may also eat the shrimp

Try to insolate the fry in a floating breeder box.

You could make your own fish trap using a plastic 2 litler soda bottle. Cut the top off just where it starts to narrow, flip the cut off top around and put it back on the bottle upside down. Then bait the trap with blackworns or some other live food. The fish will swim in and be trapped. The Rams will definitely eat the shrimp and the baby endlers.
