convicts final spawn

[veunknown]

my black convicts final spawn they are now free swimmers cant tell how many since they made a hole under a rock. when should i try to take them out or could i keep them in the tank?

It seems they are less than a week old or so? If so, I recommend feeding them newly hatched brine shrimp or powdered fry food for a couple more weeks, and then moving them. That way, not only will they be older and less susceptible to dangerous stress caused by moving them to new aquariums, but, being larger, they will be easier to catch.

You can move them now if you want. The pair will most probably get to work on another spawn immediately.

could i put the fry in a large fish bowl? i think its time to take the fry out since it looks like the female beat up the male my other fish are ok i just dont want her to kill him.

have them in a fish bowl for a week tops just to grow them out a bit then u should move them to a larger tank to grow them to feeding size
