Update, 2 months old probably about 1/4" at this point. Parents still highly protective, Dad was even attacking my magnetic algae-scrubber earlier when I was cleaning the glass. Lost some fry as expected but most was all before I fitted the intakes of the HOBs w/ the cut-off foot of a nylon stocking and heavy-duty coated wire-tie

yea, I agree....i'm debating on how much longer to keep the fry in with the parents - I know from experience its MUCH easier to net them out when they are bigger, but I could also just move the parents, but i'm worried it will take a long time for them to breed again if I stress them out from moving them. What do you think??

Nice Frank So what are you going to do with all the fry?

Look after the parents, they will produce more fry as long as there not stressed. Net the fry out 2 months is probably about right.

U think not moving the parents is the best course of action??
