Ugghhhh... I truthfully have no idea what you should do. Sorry! Congratulations though! Umm... Look it up online. They have to have something about it. For now, feed them infusia, and baby brine shrimp. You should probably move them to the 50 gal. as they get bigger, too. Not sure about the parents though. Good Luck! Hope this helps!

I wait until the fry are a coupla weeks old or so before transferring 'em. For one thing, I never seem to be gentle enough with the fry until they're a few weeks old, and end up losing a fair number (fair number = most). Waitin' lets them build a little size and strength. For another, nearly as soon as the fry are gone, the male will wanna mate again. Leavin' the fry with the parents gives the female a bit of a reprieve from that and a bit of extra time to recover.
