I have a yellow lab and blue cobalt both holding eggs right now in my 75 gallon tank. They have had fry before. I have 12 lab fry and one blue fry in my ten gallon right now they are a little over a inch long. Can I put both mothers in that ten gallon at the same time?!? Also will the fry attempt to eat the newborns?????? HELP
 
You can put them in the 10 gallon, but that combined with the 13 fry may cause your tank to minicycle - so you need to keep an eye on parameters. If the older fry and an inch they will try to eat the smaller fry once they are released. General rule of thumb with fish; if it fits in my mouth, I eat it.
