ive got some ~6wk old astatotilapia latifasciata fry (8) in a 2ft / 70ltr tank, but i noticed my electric blue (scianochromis fryeri) female is now holding in the main tank..
can i transfer her into the 2ft with my 8x fry? will she eat the ast. lat. fry when she spits her own fry out?
id like to leave them together, but i think i might have to put the ast lat fry back into the breeder net until she spits, so i can put her elec blue fry into a 2nd breeders net, give mum a weeks rest then transfer her back to the main tank, at which time i can re-release the ast. lat. fry in the 2ft'er.
any advice on the best way to go about this would be appreciated. i like to let my fish spit their fry naturally, helping them become better, more confident parents.
