Need help...

I have a dilemma...

My CA's have been breeding like crazy as the temperture got warmer in the summer. Dovii, Umbie, RTM, La Cieba, Festae, Tetracanthus, etc....all had some spawns.

I had success raising my Dovii, Jack Dempsey, Managuense, Red Devil spawns in the past, but I am having a difficult time keeping these other spawns alive.

1) I have kept spawns with parents, but after a week or two, the parents eat their fry overnight.

2) I have taken the spawns out and put them into a separate tank too. Fry eventually died in a week.

What should I do?

Please help me out and give me some advice and tips on your successes in raising your fry.

Thanks ahead of time....

get an egg tumbler and put it in the tank with the parents so same water wont kill them ....

I use "Critter Keepers". My breeders are mouth brooders, and when I see a female holding hatched fry I isolate her in a critter keeper and leave it in the same tank. That way I can easily pull her out after she "pops", and I'm saved the hassle of chasing 100's of nano-sized fry with a net.
