Male JK and female KKP had their second spawn. The eggs hatched last night/this morning. I only ended up with a few fry from the last spawn which was their first. Most of the eggs were no good the first go round but they spawned again and had about a 50% hatch rate. Both of the parents get along fine I just want to make sure I get a few more fry out of this batch. So, should I just leave the male in or take him out? He does not seem aggressive but tries to get in the flowerpot where she is keeeping the fry. Also, she is pretty huge so that keeps him pretty much out of the pot. Or, should I just take the both of them out and let the fry have the tank? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
 
As long as there arent any other fish in the tank and you have the room to house them, I would take both parents out.
