Water Change while breeding

[Calihawk]

Okay whats the usually procedure or way to do a water change when breeding is in process. I knew I shouldve changed it last night but I was drunk, lol. Its only been since Friday. Im afraid too that if I did it after the breeding that the parents would eat the eggs as well.

I would just wait a few hrs. let them finish. Give them a little time to start guarding and faning the eggs then do one.

how do u do it so the babies dont get sucked up because i always have babbies swimming to the tube

The way I do it with my Pink Convicts is bend down to see where you are suctioning. And only siphon 4-5" away from them, it won't be a complete disaster if you leave a few spots. Oh and I have the short tube so I keep my hands outta the water hehe.
