My male cutteri and female blood parrot just spawned. Quite interesting do you think the fry will be like jelly bean parrots? Cutteri and convicts are in the same family... Anyway I'll post pics in a few, should I remove the eggs and raise them my self?
 
Depends how big is the tank. If you think that it is going to be tough feeding the frys due to the size of the tank, then it would be a good idea to move them into a smaller tank so you can feed them easier when they become free swimming.
 
It's a 55 gallon and the eggs were laid in the back corner really hard to feed them. I'm going to remove them place a airstone by them and turn it to low.
 
I removed the eggs they were on a flower pot I took it out and placed it in a bucket with a heater and a airstone
 
I can't wait to see the fry, very interesting.
 
First spawn was a complete failure, they seem to be going at it again, I've been feeding blood worms night crawlers and amyhing high in protein I can get my hands on. I'm leaving the eggs with the parents this time.
