Babies EVERYWHERE!!!!

Is there anything I can do at this point? I had 2 yellow labs holding now it appears I have dozens upon dozens of little yellow fish everywhere. The mom or dad I can't tell. It's a big orange fish is chasing them all around herding them back into the cave it has dug. I hope some make it. There probably a little smaller then a dime.

I guess I just watch, wait and see? No way I can catch these little guys.

UPDATE!!!!!

Could it be?!?! I've NEVER EVER SEEN THIS LITTLE GUY EVER!!!

It's tiny!!! Take a look. What do you think? There were a few dark guys hiding out about 2-3 weeks ago but can't be can it? I don't remember adding such a small fish and a matter of fact I haven't added anything since the columnaris but my peacock.

Congrats on the fry! You can always put in small diameter PVC pieces for extra hiding space. Fry fit in but not hungry tank mates.
