Would it be best to separate the babies from my other fish? I have an empty 10gal tank I could put them in.
The Almighty Q said:What kind of cycle would they need to go through? A divider in my tank won't work real well due to the slate I have in it. The severums are being super protective towards them though and they don't seem to be eating them. Watching them today the female even picks them up in her mouth if they stray too far and puts them back with the group. The couple hundred babies have taken up residence inside a glass insulator that is in the tank.

Use a divider instead
