Hello! My jewels have just put down their second set of eggs. The first ones I still had them in my community tank and they ate eggs as soon as I put a divider in there. So i moved the happy couple and two other jewels to a 40 gal tank. I read somewhere that it's good to have a "target fish" in with the mating pair so they don't kill eachother? Is this true? How long should i leave the others in there and how long after the hatch should i leave the parents in there?
I've got my jewels in a 29 gallon all by their lonesomes and they're just fine.
I was advised not to do water changes until a week after they're free swimming.
