Hey Everyone,
When i got home from work today, i say about 100 or so little jewel fry swimming about with mom and dad gaurding them! I didnt even know they laid eggs!! But i have a few questions if any one would be willing to give me any advice or help i would greatly appriciate it!

First: My tank size is 125G
Tnak Makes: Two Green Terrors, and a Sevrum all who are scared to death of the fry and parents, they are on the opposite side of the tank!
So my questions are:
1.) What do i feed the fry? and how do i take care of them?
2.) Do i need to take them out of the tank at any point and put them in a smaller breeder type tank?
3.) What do i do with them once they have grown? can i sell them on here or Craigslist or something?

Thanks everyone any comments would be greatly appriciated
 
Thanks!
Is there a time when the parents stop protecting them, and I need to remove them from the tank? Thanks again for your response.

Yes there will be a point when the parents will start chasing them away getting ready for another batch and that's when you should either remove them or sell them. You can remove them whenever you like though, but jewels r usually good parents so it's not a problem letting them take care of the young
