Hello!
I am new to GBR Breeding and I have two blue rams who have been breeding. They are relatively small adult rams in a 70Litre tank. When i noticed eggs i took out the other gbr tank mates and left the parents. They have been really good parents so far! the eggs hatched on the 25th of November and while i was away for the weekend i noticed this morning they have become free swimming. Theres loads of them, i don't know exactly but i would say around 100. I put in a block of frozen baby brine shrimp and a pinch of Hikari First Bites, but I am unsure of what to do from here! Should i be setting up a nursery tank for them? from what I've read the parents can turn around and start eating them! at the moment they are still being really good and keeping them all together by collecting them and spitting them back out. I would really like to sell them to the LFS when they become a bit older, but i don't really know much about doing that either! So i guess my major question is, am i feeding them properly, and should I remove them from the parents? I want the parents to keep breeding so I don't want to stress them out by taking them away or removing the parents!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
