As long as you have lots of little hiding places, you should have fry that make it. I wouldn't bother moving the labs.

I have a pair of electric blues (Sciaenochromis ahli (formerly Haplochromis ahli)) in a 110 community of mostly African cichlids and catfish. The female has a full mouth of fry and is most likely going to release them in the next few week or so. Should I try to move her to my fry tank now, or try to catch the fry after they are released? The fry will most likely be eaten as this has happened in the past with other breeding pairs in the same tank. I would really like to save as many as possible. Is there any reason to NOT take the female out of the main tank? I dont want her to abandon the fry. Any advice would be greatly accepted.
Thanks,
Ross
