is this unusual?

i put a divider in because she wouldnt let him get near the wigglers when they hatched. now they are free swimming and have crossed over to his side safely. should i remove him or will they be ok? both parents are taking care of them.

It's completely normal and good for both parents. If you remove the fry, only take a portion out. The longer the pair takes care of the stronger the pair bond. I have a few tanks with dividers where the male and the female have never been on the same side. The fry move back and forth between the parents.

Beautiful fish.

i already have a 10g with some fry from the first batch. i guess ill set up a 20g and take most of these out. thanks for the advice.
