Gt breeding

[Andy02793]

My gt pair have some 2 1/2 week old fry and today they laid some more eggs.... So what do I do now? Do I take the fry out? Leave them alone? Or what?

If you can i would take them out. Its a bit touch and go with these things. Sometimes they will eat the larger fry other times they will care for both. I would at least take half out if you plan on keeping any.

I plan on keeping at least 10 of the larger ones and then selling them off until I have 1 real nice one.

i would remove the bigger ones to a nother tank and let the parent raise the other

I know someone whos pair does thia all the time like clock work. they have batch after and just take care of all of them. worst part is i gave them this pair :/ ive heard of this happening alot with green terros. he usually just removes the fry when both batches are free swimming. my angels breed weekly also im curious if this time that i havent removed the fry they will have eggs again on monday. the person i know is at about 200 fry so good luck

Thanks for the advice. I cant move the frys out unless I sell/give away my fh but I really want to see what he looks like when he gets older. I have extra tanks but i cant set them up, I actually had to take down 2 40g and a 30g due to the crazy electricity bill I got (well my parents got).
