great! youll see they will move them a couple of times..did you say they are by themselves? if yes, you can leave them there as long as you want! or put back the parents in the main tank and raise the youngs alone, in their own tank. next comes the real work..!:)

the farther keeps gathering them up and spitting them into the plant on the right of the mother in the picture .if i leave parents with them for few days then take them out what advice can you give me in rearing them please thanxs

what size of tank they are in? what is the filter? first, you must make sure that when they'll be free swimming, the filter wont suck them up( i put a sponge around the intake screen)for feeding, crushed flakes, 3 times a day is ok but it spoils the water a lot( you will have to make water changes often( thats why i use newly hatched live brine shrimp..more babies survives feeding this stuff)the trick is to feed often and do a lot of water changes for fast growth...also i use a bare bottom(no gravel or sand) this way, its easier to siphon debris and keep the tank clean...following this, you little buggers will reach 1cm in about 4 weeks...anymore questions, just ask, good luck
