Okay so my convicts just spawned I went upstairs this morning to see about 100 fry swimming around. I have one of those net breeders I was wondering if I could siphon them out and into the net breeder? so I can feed them easily and protect them from becoming a snack.
 
Can I do this?? and if not how long should I wait, and if I should, should I leave the lights on so my ghost knife, and or peacock eel dont come out and eat them. With my BGK not having scales and being a sensitive fish I dont want the convicts attacking/ killing him. and do i need to put the parents with them? the breeder is pretty small for them plus the babies to be in there

I move mine after a week using a net.

okay do you turn the light off though? or leave it on 24 hours till you move them?
