I messaged the woman who wants the remaining fish in the 90 and she is going to try to come by tomorrow. I don't really have a way to put a divider in the big tank. It is Euro braced, and is 24" front to back and 31" high and is the main display tank in the house. So I also do not really want to look at the divider either.

Hopefully I can pull the red heads when they are holding and looking for a new place to put their fry. With any luck I can get them switched in time. If not, they will have their own tank so hopefully I can get a spawn again in a few weeks. There are a few corys and a very small loach I am thinking of leaving in there. The Vampire Pleco will go to the big tank with the red sevs. Man I am excited. I hope the red sevs integrate into the big tank OK.

Well, I did not get the rock with the eggs moved in time. The parents moved the eggs to a nearby huge piece of driftwood that I cannot transfer. So I will just have to see how good they are at defending now. They are having a hard time fending off a sneaky acarichtys heckelii at the moment. So I do not hold much hope for this first batch.

I will move them once the end has come, or they have fry I can catch to move.
 
i bet if they took enough time to move the eggs they will definitely do a good job defending
 
If you really want to save the fry, you can remove all other fish in the tank. Sneak up on them when they are asleep...it's very easy.

Fingers crossed. IME fry from this pair are worthy all the trouble..

I totally changed my 150 to a sev tank.. gotta get pic's in soon..!!!
 
Here are a few photos I was able to capture this afternoon. You can see the newly hatched fry (mostly on the left hand side of the gash in the wood, hanging and attached to the darker part), and tell them from the sand by the stripes and tails. Not sure if you can see that on here. I will try to put the largest photo I can.

You can see the rock below the male in a few photos that they cleaned and originally laid the eggs on.

OK We are go for Free Swimming Fry! The parents are turning out to be fantastic! This is a wild pair, so their instincts might be stronger, who knows. Here are a few photos from earlier today.
