Move the pair of Gold Severums and their eggs... or remove the other fish?

[bill taylor]

They just spawned this morning...

The others are 3 plecos and 1 other Gold Severum (who is being confined to a corner).

I know it seems obvious to let the pair have the big (135g) tank, but alls they really need is a 55.
And I have a 55 all ready to go that I can dedicate to this pair and their new brood. Then I can transfer some others from crowded 55 gallon tanks...move some other fry, etc.

It is their first brood too, so probably not a good idea to move them. Just suck it up and give them the big tank...

Also wondering how dangerous the plecos will be to the eggs/fry. Will the parents be alright in keeping them away? If that's the case maybe I can let the pecos stay?


What you think?

Don't Move the parents. The Pleco's will be the biggest threat especially at night. You could seperate the other fish with plastic lighting diffuser aka egg crate light diffuser.https://www.1800ceiling.com/polysty...61Wdkb6vc5hINfYCm9hwv0XlFuabbeCgaAlNeEALw_wcB

Move the plecos to the other tank.

Let the sev’s Raise them in peace cause it will turn into a late night diner on lights out.
