My cons spawned a week ago and the eggs hatched. She had them under a rock where she dug gravel out but it started being unstable so i moved the rock so it dident fall on the eggs. She moved all her babies to a ceramic pot yesterday. This mornin, they were gone and now i see them stayin beside this other rock, digging underneath it, pretty sure they are under there now. Should i just let her do her thing? When will they fry become free swimming? Last time i seen them in the pot, they looked kinda yellowy or somthing. Anyway, its my first time with Cons and fry and im just unsure what to do or expect. I want the fry to live so i can grow them and feed them to my GT.

If you care so much about the fry being squashed, purchase a 20g tank and raise the fry seperatley....Because the fry will be moved around a lot, do not get nervous.....Remove all rocks from the tank and leave the ceramaic pot inside....
