I have 2 electric blue acaras in my 40 gallon community tank, today the female has laid eggs and both of them are taking turns watching over the eggs, I haven’t had any experience with fish breeding so I’m needing advice, I’ve read that the fry will take between 4-7 days to hatch and I am wondering what is the best size tank to move the fry into when they are big enough and when I should do this, also what is the best food to feed them, any other advice is helpful, thanks.

20 gallon tank. Use water from display., wait until a week after free swimming, feed frozen baby brine shrimp or hikari first bites.
Ok Thankyou

They wont survive in a community tank. Remove them if you want them to live.
I have noticed today that the acaras have moved the eggs into a new pit that it behind a rock at the back of the tank, I can’t see the eggs but the male and female are still taking it in turns guarding the area, due to the fact I can’t see them, how would I go about knowing when to feed them as I can’t see if they’ve hatched without moving the rock?
