jetajockey said:I wouldn't move the parents, just the fry. They are fine in a 10g just keep the water clean and feed them once they are free swimming.
jetajockey said:yeah don't feed them till you see them swimming around.
jetajockey said:welcome and good luck with them. You might also want to fill the 10g with water from the tank they are in so that water parameters are the same.
jetajockey said:Good luck with them. One of my pairs has eggs right now also, I haven't moved them yet but probably will tomorrow.
jetajockey said:If the fry are small enough to fit in their mouths then they might kill them so I think you are doing the right thing by keeping them separated. Once they get about the same size it'll be fine to keep them together.

One thing I would recommend though is to lower the level of water in the 10g tank so that it is maybe 25% full. This is so that when you feed them the very small amount that you should be feeding you keep the food to volume ratio higher and make it easier for the tiny fry to find food. As they increase in size and become more mobile you can increase the amount of water in the tank.
